This is lavishly illustrated exploration of an icon of questionable taste. Jesus, pirates, panthers, bandits, Indians, movie stars, and of course, Elvis are recognized icons of the oft-despised, uberkitsch art form of black velvet painting. "Black Velvet Art" presents a comprehensive and magnificently illustrated overview of this covertly loved and overtly reviled tradition. This volume traces velvet's historical development as a folk art shaped by both indigenous traditions as well as Western consumers. What is most significant about black velvet art to many is its role as the very nadir of bad taste. Black velvet is in many ways the "anti-art." This book seeks to explore how and why black velvet serves this function and to examine ways it speaks to individuals around the world.
