American Folk art showcases cultural identities and traditions. It reflects a unification of technique, aesthetics, and ethnic values through creative expression. Different nations have their own distinct folk painting traditions practiced by their indigenous groups. American folk painting culture came into existence with the rise of the Industrial Revolution in America in the 19th century. Common people filled their homes with art showcasing objects of everyday use and thus gave birth to the art of common man. This amateur, self-taught, and non-conventional art style is recognized as American Folk Art.
