Discover the raw, authentic voice of the American spirit in "FOLK ART: SELF-TAUGHT ARTISTS, SELF-TOLD STORIES", the official catalogue of the Harmon Museum's major 2026 exhibition. This essential volume celebrates the unique power of art created by self-taught individuals, capturing personal forces that move them "beyond contemplation to creation." Spanning two centuries of American ingenuity, this collector’s edition features over three dozen self-taught masters, including Reverend Howard Finster, Elijah Pierce, and Mary Tillman Smith and the rich collection covers diverse media such as Tramp Art, Face Jugs, Carvings, Painted Furniture, Whirligigs and more. Published in conjunction with the America 250-Ohio celebrations and featuring the extensive Harmon Museum and K. Richard B. Niehoff collections, this book is a vital record of American cultural heritage. Exhibition catalogue available in our gift shop.
