Description
A fraktur I just completed on hand distressed antique laid paper.
FRAKTUR ART is naive art at its finest. It corrals folk art, family, and American values tinged with a strong dose of Old World heritage. Fraktur brings all this together on colorful pages that delight the eyes while stimulating a curiosity about their archaic and decorative texts - texts usually written in German, even though they document events in the lives of some of North America's earliest immigrant families.
Fraktur are hand-written manuscripts, or printed manuscripts that are hand-decorated with pen and ink and watercolors. Though made primarily for Pennsylvania-German and German-American families in the second half of the Eighteenth Century and throughout the Nineteenth Century, fraktur are being made even today in Pennsylvania and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
