“Herein, we confront a bevy of American folk artists whose hand-made, Noel-inspired, wonderlands beckon us to enter with a powerful, year ‘round, Christmas come hither-ness!”
Rebecca Alban Hoffberger Founder and Director of the American Visionary Art Museum
American Christmas is a tribute to people who give of themselves for the benefit of others. It is an art form rooted in community and tradition in the same vein as traditional folk art, being of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Danelle Manthey
While this book serves as a celebration of a classic American phenomenon, it also offers a kind of inventory of the creative process itself—both of the creators and of the photographer. By gathering this collection together in one place, Manthey is providing her own cross-sectional view of one particular folk-art form, showing it in the fullness of its expression.
