Tramp Art: The Art of Layered Inspirations
Lecture with Clifford Wallach

Museum of International Folk Art

Longtime tramp art dealer and aficionado Clifford Wallach discusses his three decades of research on tramp art and reflects upon his personal journey in this field. Drawing on his findings and interviews with artists or their descendants and acquaintances, Wallach, the author of three books on tramp art, will shed new light on various questions related to tramp art, including who the makers of tramp art were—and are today.

This lecture is in conjunction with the public opening of the exhibition No Idle Hands: The Myths & Meanings of Tramp Art. Free admission and all opening events generously funded by the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation.
