Helen LaFrance Folk Art Memories ![]() Born in 1919 in western Kentucky, LaFrance is the rare artisan who is able to work in more than one medium. She is an accomplished painter, quilter, wood carver, and Biblical interpreter. However, her real skill is her ability to connect with the viewer emotionally through the memories they share. Visually recording a fast-disappearing way of life, she paints scenes of a time and place that so many of can respond to. These paintings fall into a category of American folk art known as Memory Painting. The author's close acquaintance with LaFrance gives Helen LaFrance Folk Art Memories a perspective it wouldn't have without that association. Size: 8-1/2" x 11". Soft cover, 220+ color photographs.
