Visitng with Edward Hicks
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
American born Folk artist Edward Hicks had various similarities in his
large body of paintings. There is uniformity of color, highlighting some
objects of each painting in larger scale, and humans and animals
interacting together to name a few. He is entirely self taught as he believed that organized education was a tool of the devil. Ironically,
he himself has taught succeeding generations, for his sincerity shines
through his paintings, giving them an excitement heightened by lively
detail that is both naive and, to the more sophisticated
twentieth-century viewer, humorous and interesting. His animals have
human expressions; his children and human figures, although stiff and
doll-like, are distinctively drawn and accurately costumed.
Noah's Ark is a gorgeous canvas
stitched in wool or silk, but one that requires a bit of patience as
there are many small color changes and details. Though a challenge it
will reward you for years to come.
