Self-Taught Naive Memory Painter Emily Lunde Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas drawing samples from the hand of Emily Lunde. Like Grandma Moses, I suppose, Emily Lunde was "self-taught" "naive" and a "primitive" but as far as marketing was concerned, maybe not so much. As you can see from these sketches (and samples) for her paintings...they were carbon copies the artist embellished with ink later. These were done not long after the Museum of American Folk Art Encyclopedia of 20th Century Folk Art and Artists was published. Perhaps that book brought her far more attention than she ever had, and she resorted to painting "Greatest Hits."
The drawings were mailed to a patron (not me) in 1991. At that time, she estimated having painted some 1,000 paintings. She passed on in 2007, so there was likely time for plenty more.
Three hand drawn and "blueprint" drawings by Emily Lunde 1991

Bill Alexander, African-American Illustrator 78 rpm Record Labels for Roy Milton
Bill Alexander went on to be an illustrator for Eerie magazine, but I have a penchant for his early work illustrating record labels for Jazz and Blues great Roy Milton in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Antique Nantucket Whirligig and Weathervane Late 19th Early 20th Century
Late 19th / Early 20th Century. You'll see that phrase often describing American folk art Sculpture. A real photo postcard dated 1914. Was this fellow in business 14 years earlier? Probably. This "Nantucket Merchant" has the standard Sailor whirligig and Whale weathervane, but the art-twirling Bear (second from left) never really took off. It's up to you if the crow on the right is real or not...cheap printing. Most of the crows around here won't let you get too close. (See his competitor below on the back cover of our new book)

Hooked Rugs and knick-knacks of wood likely made by her son. Folk Art of the rural South. RPPC dated 1941 Collection Jim Linderman
