This companion to an exhibition at the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City is a dazzling exhibition in itself. Fascinating, informative biographies of 255 self-taught painters, sculptors, potters, and creators of environments are accompanied by brilliant color photographs of their outstanding works. Even the appendices are special, being illustrated with about 80 striking b&w photographs of artists. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
