Interpretations: Florida's Self-Taught Artists
Gary Monroe
Extraordinary
Interpretations fills a niche being the Sunshine State's
contribution to the national dialog about contemporary folk art.
Florida is fertile territory for self-taught artists, whose eccentricity
informs their imagery. From Key West to Pensacola the book showcases
a diverse lot; from retirees to the emotionally disabled to blue-collar
workers, whose imagery contains a font of information that challenges
and expands the accepted notions about visual arts.
