Title: Tramp Art Another Notch Description: Brand new book signed by the author. In his second book on the subject, Tramp Art: Another Notch, Folk Art from the Heart, Wallach has captured the romance of these folk art objects made layer by layer, one notch at a time by untrained artists using simple tools and recycled materials. Tramp art was a democratic art, with artisans representing over 40 nationalities carving tramp art in America and was practiced throughout the world wherever men smoked cigars and the raw materials for their projects were available. Creating objects from the heart, the tramp artist was able to transform discarded wooden cigar boxes into pieces of utility and wonder. Never before has the subject been studied in such depth. Wallach brings a rich assemblage of the history of the art form through the study of the artists’ lives and work. Wallach also dispels the misguided romantic mythologies long associated with tramp art and for the first time we are left with an accurate picture of whom these noble notchers were. The origin of tramp art remains a mystery although it does seem to have been passed throughout the world as if it were a recipe passed from family to family and neighbor to neighbor. In this book Wallach chronicles both newly uncovered historic and contemporary makers with over 600 full color photographs and a value guide.
