Title

Sur bois : Franco-American Woodcarvers of Northern New England

Description

An examination of Franco-American history and life through the folkloric means of artistic woodcarving in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The introduction reads, "This exhibit catalogue is designed to share with the public the vitality and the symbolic power of traditional Franco-American woodcarving. There is nothing more appropriate for the celebration of Franco-American artists than to make known an art form that is still very much alive for them and to promote the cultural heritage and aesthetic expression of their community."

[De l'introduction: "C'est le désir de partager avec le public la vitalité et la force évocatrice de l'art traditionnel des Franco-Américains qui nous a, en partie, poussés a organizer l'exposition dont vous tenez le catalogue en main. Quoi de plus naturel que de mettre en valeur non seulement un art qui est resté tres ancré au sein de la communauté franco-américaine, mais aussi de célébrer les valeurs héritées au sein de cette communauté?"]
