[edit] Frida?

Frida Kahlo is in the list of notables, but she wasn't a folk artist, rather she drew on Mexican folk traditions to express the personal subject matter of her work. She doesn't really belong in the list. Julia Rossi (talk) 06:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I'll do some basic homework on folk art, like the Bullfinch cited, and try and make a decent article. I'm by no means an expert. The information I added to the introduction is from http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/212096/folk-art. It looks like Folk dance and Folk music have their problems too. Hopefully more improvements to come soon.

[edit] Notables

I removed the list of notables. Some were not folk artists but researchers, others were artists but not folk artists. Either way, I would like to see those names included contextually in the article and placed in an appropriate list. Also it is my understanding that most folk art is anonymous. Anyways, the list is here, waiting to be worked in.
