American Contempory Folk Art is often described as art created by self-taught artists.  Contemporary American folk art contains many of the themes and issues that the artists find of importance in their own lives. These artisit create powerful and moving art from paintings to sculptures, but are frequently unacknowledged or fulling understanding in the art and culture of the world.
