Pennsylvania German Arts: More than Hearts, Parrots, and Tulips

This book, written by Dr. Irwin Richman, has been written to be
both informative and fun to read and designed to showcase distinctive works of great beauty. There has never been a book like this, intertwining the arts and artifacts of both the traditional and
the evolving worlds. Folk art is here, but so is the work of precisionist painter Charles Demuth and abstract expressionist painter Franz Kline. Objects range from needlework, pottery, furniture, and glass
to paper, paintings, and metals, including gold and silver. A very personal and extensive historical text illustrated with the works of traditionalists, revivalists, and the avant-garde displayed in over
350 color photographs.
