Anotations

Scope note:

Art produced by artisans trained and working within a local client economy according to local tastes, as opposed to "academic art." It differs also from "folk art," in that vernacular art is defined in terms of its creators (rather than the response of its viewers), and is not so much bound to the biographical details of an individual craftsman.
