From the drawings of a child imprisoned in Terezin to quilts created by slave women in the United States, history repeatedly shows us people finding solace in crafting beautiful things.\n\nThis striking introduction to outsider art is illustrated in full color with examples from each time period.\n\nFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 037592406X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.037592406X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rubin, Susan Goldman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
