Title
Traditional Early American Images in Decorative Frames
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- It has been said that our contemporary society desires not so much more and better of everything but a reconnection with spiritual truths. In studying and working with the imagery of the various peoples who comprise the Pennsylvania Dutch I have discovered that their commitment to the earth and to God has left for us a profound legacy. Not unlike Native Americans, these people knew spiritual life as an on-going,daily experience. There are differences, of course, as the Early American pietists were much more focused on an imminent celestial community on earth governed by Christ returned than were the Native Americans. The basis for their artistic imagery - which included even the most humble of utilitarian objects - and for their hymnals was always scripture.
