Description
|
|
|
|
Illustrated with more than 100 color plates and additional photos, this catalog documents an exhibit of fine marquetry, parquet work, and inlay at the Museum of American Folk Art, from the collection of Robert and Marjorie Hirschhorn. It considers the history of marquetry (creating a precise mosaic of tiny wood veneer pieces) and the American masters who handed down the tradition to their sons—a fine craft whose practice had not been previously investigated, catalogued, or recognized as a distinct body of work until curator Richard Muhlberger collaborated with the Hirschhorns.
