“A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America” Opens February 11th The Society of the Four Arts will display a stunning presentation of American folk art from February 11 through March 26, 2017. Admission is $5. Drawn from the prestigious collection of Barbara L. Gordon, “A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America” showcases more than 60 works by some of the most admired 19th-century American artists. Included are rare and very fine portraits by such artists as Ammi Phillips and John Brewster, Jr.; vivid still lifes, allegorical scenes and landscapes, including a mature “Peaceable Kingdom” by Edward Hicks (right); whimsical trade signs and figure and animal sculptures; unique household objects and distinctive examples of furniture from the German American community. In total, they exemplify the breadth of American creative expression during a period of enormous political, social, and cultural change in the United States.

Attributed to Edward Hicks, American (1780-1849), “The Peaceable Kingdom with the Leopard of Serenity”, 1835-40, Oil on Canvas, 26 x 29 ½ in., Courtesy of the Barbara L. Gordon Collection

“A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America” is organized and circulated by Art Services International in Alexandria, Va.
