5.0 out of 5 stars
A huge leap forward in documenting an overlooked art form.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tramp Art, One Notch At A Time (Hardcover)
Cliff Wallach has been a fixture for years at antique shows and auctions, ferreting out incredible examples of this little known and under-appreciated art form. But with this book project, he became the first person to really find out who many of the artists were, and are. Wallach has clarified many issues, exploded myths and taken pictures of thousands of otherwise-unknown masterpieces of tramp art. The book is not just a worthy historical document, it's a feast for the eyes, with literally hundreds of color plates.
