Book Synopsis Pennsylvania Dutch Design by : Rachel E. Yoder
Download or read book Pennsylvania Dutch Design written by Rachel E. Yoder and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is amazing how authentic and traditional PA Dutch folk artists maintained and sold their work throughout the low price kitsch popularity boom. This shows the commitment to these traditions by the folk artists. It is ironic that the same kitsch products that could have jeopardized the practice of PA Dutch folk artists may instead have served to preserve and spread PA Dutch influence and made it more recognizable. PA Dutch folk art isn't dying out anytime soon. But as a living art form, it continues to grow and expand as the times change and the materials change. The time may be ripe for an update to the affordable marketing of mass produced PA Dutch patterns.

Book Synopsis The Pennsylvania Dutch Country by : Irwin Richman
Download or read book The Pennsylvania Dutch Country written by Irwin Richman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the name Pennsylvania Dutch from a corruption of their own word for themselves, "Deutsch," the first German settlers arrived in Pennsylvania in 1683. By the time of the American Revolution, their influence was such that Benjamin Franklin, among others, worried that German would become the commonwealth's official language. The continuing influence of the Church peoples-the Amish and Mennonites and others who constitute the still-vibrant Dutch culture-can be seen today in icons of Americana from apple pie to log cabins.

Book Synopsis The Early Decorated Furniture of the Pennsylvania Dutch: 18th-Century Bieber Family of Craftsmen & Other Folk Artists by : Richard L. T. Orth
Download or read book The Early Decorated Furniture of the Pennsylvania Dutch: 18th-Century Bieber Family of Craftsmen & Other Folk Artists written by Richard L. T. Orth and published by Masthof Press. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here and abroad, no other Pennsylvania Dutch motifs have come to be prized more than those created by John Bieber (1763-1825) of Oley Township, Berks County. Without a doubt, the hallmark of a Bieber dower chest (hope chest) is its huge, bulbous, flat hearts diligently laid out with compass. The heart motif was the most reoccurring symbol among 18th-century immigrant artisans. This book celebrates the craftsmanship and history of these Americana pieces of furniture. Color pictures capture the beauty of these various works of art and are a step to cataloging them before they are lost to time. (164pp. color illus. Masthof Press, 2019.)

Book Synopsis Pennsylvania Dutch Stuff by : Earl F. Robacker
Download or read book Pennsylvania Dutch Stuff written by Earl F. Robacker and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative work was, at the time of its first publication, the first full-length book to cover in detail the collecting of Pennsylvania "Dutch" furnishings and crafts. It was subsequently redesigned and enlarged, to make it again available in this more ample format it deserves. The Pennsylvania Dutch country may be said to have been "discovered" by collectors in the 1920s and 1930s. These unique people, with their old-world customs and colorful folk art, have created in America an authentic genre, with a flavor much in vogue among experienced decorators, as well as amateur collectors. Earl F. Robacker, a native Pennsylvanian and a collector himself, introduces this volume with a general discussion of characteristic Dutch country art forms and craftsmanship, emphasizing its authentic "peasant" quality in contrast to the more elegant styles of other early American furnishings. Chapter by chapter he discusses typical pieces of furniture, china, kitchenware and other articles, giving careful descriptions of each important piece, its availability, and most important, the rules for a collector to keep in mind when on the trail of real Pennsylvania Dutch "stuff." This volume offers a thorough orientation in Pennsylvania Dutch country antiques and makes fascinating reading for anyone interested in the general subject of old furnishings. As the first volume to assemble the scattered and fragmentary information on the subject, it is an invaluable guide for those who merely want to achieve authentic atmosphere in home decoration. Many fine illustrations supplement the text, and a partial list of museum collections gives additional guidance. The book contains a full discussion of the basic principles of Pennsylvania Dutch decoration, and an appraisal of the quality of reproductions available on the market.
