“This decoration, which appeals both to the eye and to the fancy ...It seeks its inspiration in the very heart of life - in nature as seen through the eyes of the peasant, who is free from all the conventionalities of civilisation, and whose eye is unspoilt by the constant contemplation of the ugliness which is so unsparingly distributed around us."
Day-umn Netta Peacock from 1905! This is a quote from an article extoling the virtue of peasant folk art and I agree with this 120 year old opinion, Sh*ts ugly out there, Buy Art!
