Folk Art Paintings

FOLK ART STYLE

Folk art is a genre of art that shares the creator’s traditions, offering not just an artistic display but an opportunity to learn about a culture. Antique, new and vintage folk art typically reflects a heritage or location. It can include utilitarian objects and handmade art as diverse as weather vanes, duck decoys, portraiture and paintings, carnival art and quilts.

Quilts are a quintessential part of American folk art but their roots are international, with quilting dating back to Ancient Egypt. The practice spread to Europe and was especially prominent in the Middle Ages, with one of the oldest surviving examples being the Tristan quilt made in Sicily in the 14th century. They were made as bedcovers and clothing, including as a layer for knights to wear beneath their armor. Native American folk art includes functional objects reflecting their heritage, such as baskets, textiles and wooden pieces.

Elsewhere, the vast range of work associated with Mexican folk art includes masks made by Mexican craftspeople for traditional celebrations and ceremonial dances. Mexican masks are part of the country’s folk-art traditions that go back thousands of years and play a role in festivals and theater.

Works in the folk art tradition are valuable because of the skills involved, like weaving, hand-carving wood and even stonework. Many folk artists are self-taught, while some train as apprentices within their community. By using available materials and taking a personal approach to their creations, artists ensure each piece is unique and conveys a story.

During the Great Depression, artistic materials in America were hard to come by, so artisans used discarded wood from cigar boxes and shipping crates to make highly stylized, notched pieces — most often picture frames and boxes — that are today sought after by collectors. This folk art style is called tramp art and was popular from roughly 1870 until the 1940s.

Folk art brings vibrant culture and traditions into your home. Browse an extensive collection of antique, new and vintage folk art on 1stDibs.

Outsider Art "Animals and Castles" Oil on Panel by Bruno Del Favero
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Oil on panel by acclaimed outsider artist, Bruno Del Favero (b. Italy 1910, d. USA 1995), circa 1970. Fine example showcasing Del Favero's aptitude for creating fantastical landscapes. Contrasting oxen / bulls and flamingos with a castle backdrop creates an imaginary context removed from reality. Del Favero's marriage of fantasy and whimsy beautifully suits his Naïve painting style. Singed on verso. Bio from the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Born Princeton, Michigan, 1910; died Greenwich, Connecticut, 1995 Bruno Del Favero moved from Michigan to northern Italy with his parents at age five, returning in 1928 and settling in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he married and remained for the rest of his days. He made his living as a mason, chauffeur, and landscape gardener. It is not known exactly when or why he began to paint his delicate and mysterious landscapes, but he was exhibiting in local art shows by the early 1970s and took himself seriously enough as an artist to join the Greenwich Art Society. He maintained a studio in the basement of his home, but never shared his art with his wife and five children. After the artist's death his family introduced his work to New York dealers Shari Cavin...

Southwestern Still Life Painting with Serape and Snake Plant - Signed Santa Fe
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Vivid and full of Southwestern spirit, this Mid-Century Southwestern still life oil painting was sourced from the estate of Jonathan Parks at his Santa Fe estate sale. The work beautifully captures the region’s distinctive aesthetic—warm desert hues, handmade textiles, and organic forms—hallmarks of midcentury Santa Fe art. The composition features a vibrant snake plant (Sansevieria) in a rustic clay pot, set before a boldly striped Mexican serape draped over a wooden chair. Rendered in expressive brushstrokes of green, ochre, and sienna, the piece evokes the rhythm and color of Southwestern modernism, where folk craft meets painterly abstraction. The painting, executed in oil on board, is framed in its original carved wood frame with beaded inner edge and natural patina. On the verso, a faint handwritten inscription appears to read “Painted in Taos by Mr. Frank ___, still life,” suggesting midcentury regional provenance tied to the Taos and Santa Fe art circles—famed for their blend of modernist experimentation and desert influence. Ideal for collectors of Southwestern modern art, Santa Fe regionalism, or folk modern still lifes, this piece exudes authenticity and quiet sophistication. It would look stunning in Adobe-inspired interiors, bohemian desert spaces, or midcentury modern homes craving a touch of warmth and history. Details: Title: Untitled (Still Life with Snake Plant and Serape) Provenance: From the Jonathan Parks Estate, Santa Fe, New Mexico Origin: Possibly Taos, mid-20th century Medium: Oil on board Frame: Original wood frame with bead detailing Condition: Light craquelure and minor surface wear consistent with age; retains rich color and original varnish. Some missing beadwork from the frame. Styling Notes: Display as a focal piece in a Southwestern or desert modern interior Pair with vintage serapes...
