Promotion of Visions of Paradise Film Series

Abstract

Spread throughout America, in cities and in suburbs, in remote desert and mountain country, there is an extraordinary wealth of folk art. The work of folk, or "naive," artists reflects a pioneer spirit, a hope and optimism that represent the best of the American experience. And the artists themselves are an inspiration. Visions of Paradise is a series of five 30-minute films, each portraying the life and work of an important living American folk artist.
