[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 652026, member: 2844"]I agree. And many people would be happy to own folk art. My mother collected it, she loved the traditions of different cultures. Well, it is.:) Many countries and cultures have 'high' art and 'low' or folk art. High art developed into fine art. But every social group makes art, even if it isn't within the rules and boundaries of fine art. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. These are examples of Dutch folk art. Not fine art, but beautiful in their own right imo: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/WLANL_-_MicheleLovesArt_-_Fries_Museum_-_Hindelooper_kamers_-_wieg_%281%29.jpg/794px-WLANL_-_MicheleLovesArt_-_Fries_Museum_-_Hindelooper_kamers_-_wieg_%281%29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2016/11/7/b/8/b/b8bb1728-a4ce-11e6-8474-c7fd4d658126.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.demispel.nl/volkskunst/site1686.gif[/IMG] The art of those cultures that don't have the distinction between art of different social groups is often referred to as tribal art.
