Summary: Is it art? Is it accounting?
Comment: The Shakers inventoried their communities in two-dimensional drawings. These were not the works of trained artists or draftsmen, but are examples of the works of the cultural tradition that brought us such useful items as the circular saw. In our world, where we hurry from one activity to the next, it is helpful to have an insight into another way of life, where hurry-sickness had not caught hold. The illustrations are beautiful. Mr. Emlen's commentary is scholarly and, at the same time, readable.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good read
Comment: Insightful, clear, and well-structured analysis of Shaker Art. The author presents the information alongside beautiful Shaker images. A must-read for a good backround in Shaker art, and in my opinion, the definitive work on the subject.
