American Folk Art with Mario Medici on Zoom or simulcast in person

Folk art encompasses art produced from native or tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. Folk Art is characterized by a naive style, in which traditional rules of proportion and prospective are not employed. Basically, folk art is produced through the genius of untrained artists and has it own characteristics. Various materials, paints, and other items are used to produce this interesting and fascinating art work. This lecture will take the listener and viewer through the various forms of art work along with the artists who produced them. It is a journey not often explored and one you will find fascinating.

Mario Medici, a retired Information Technology executive who has traveled the world, is New York City born and raised.  Mario currently lectures at Bergen Community College's Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) and has a growing list of over 80 venues that includes schools, community organizations, and libraries.

This presenter will NOT be at the library in person.

Registration is required for a Zoom Link.
