Lewery, A.J. Popular Art: Past & Present
Newton Abbot David & Charles 1991 0715394959 / 9780715394953 First Edition Black Cloth Very Good Very Good
152pp., col. & b/w illus. biblio. Minor bumping to spine, traces of tape to pastedowns, flaps, Price-clipped and repriced by publishers. 'From the riotous colour of fairgrounds to ornate scrolling on windswept fishing boats, from the naked lady tattooed on a motorcyclist's arm to the pair of china dogs guarding the mantlepiece, popular art is alive and thriving in Britain. This account of what is a largely undocumented aspect of our heritage traces many of its themes back to their roots. Medieval heraldry and heroes still appear on pub signs, and the acanthus leaves of ancient architecture have been transformed into the gilded scrollwork of church banners and gypsy caravans. Even the political murals of Northern Ireland, inner city graffiti and mummer plays are linked to the past by a creative need. The author sets out to provide an informative text with a touch of humour.' [50]
