"Jonathan and Karin Fielding have spent almost a lifetime collecting America: their passion for Folk Art quickly becoming a learned study;, their choices always surprisingly alive with the spirit of the maker. Now there is a book as lively and modern and seductive as the Fielding Collection itself, ravishingly displayed at The Huntington Museum. BECOMING AMERICA treats the collection in a spirited, and surprising way - its page design and pacing break through the staid norm of a book on antiques, making much of shape and texture and delight in the creative hand itself.-- Dorothy Kalins, founding editor, Metropolitan Home and Saveur magazines." - Amazon Customer Reviews

Celebrating two collectors’ passion for Americana and the window it provides into the everyday beauty of the past

Becoming America offers a multifaceted view of one of the foremost collections of 18th- and 19th-century American folk and decorative art from the rural Northeast. Essays by leading specialists discuss the culture of furniture workshops, exuberant painted decoration, techniques of sewing and quilting, and poignant stories about the families depicted in the portraits. The collection itself includes Shaker boxes, a beaded Iroquois hat, embroidered samplers, metalwork, scrimshaw, handwoven rugs, ceramics, and a weather vane. The majority of these works have never before been published. With lively essays and profuse illustrations, this handsome volume brings to life the aesthetic of early Americans living in the countryside and is an essential exploration of the period’s taste and style.
