<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4265224, member: 738"]Folk art is a broad and slippery description. The difference between fine and folk seems to lie in whether the artist has been formally trained or not. I'd say yes, you could comfortably describe this one as folk, simply because of its naivete. I did find his name listed, but no bio so I don't know his training history. Another painting by him shows the similar folk-ish technique. [ATTACH=full]339617[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
