Here is the long awaited update of research on the Rufus Porter
Landscape Mural School, greatly expanding the knowledge and
understanding of this uniquely American folk art field of the 1820s
to 1840s. The text provides detailed documentation never seen
before in print. The book takes the reader on a virtual tour of
Porter School murals in the New England states, presenting and
analyzing more than 400 colorful images, which will provide
inspiration for historians, researchers, designers, and painters
alike. It offers evidence regarding the attribution of these mostly
unsigned works, and encourages readers to apply that evidence in
reaching their own conclusions. In addition, there is a section
concerning the preservation of historic murals and various
challenges and threats to such preservation. Finally, the book
offers a "how-to" section that interprets Porter's original
published mural painting instructions in terms of modern equipment,
materials, and supplies.
