Tramp Art was a popular form of folk art 1870 to 1940

This is some unexpectedly elaborate art. I'll take a longer look at the style and work after work today.

Thanks for the introduction BBB.

I discovered tramp and hobo art while I was creating an internet site called "What is Art?" during the 1990s. I went out the side of usual limits in art by including every type of art you can imagine. For example, women's domestic hand work art that is rarely given credit, the art of landscaping, body art, domestic are from around the world, cave painting, etc. Every art piece was accompanied with information I wrote about the artist. You get the idea that I was searching for all kinds of art. It was a wonderful search for the work of talented, but many unknown people.

Sadly, after it gained a lot of fans, four years later the company in which presented What is Art? went out of business without any warning to me. All of my research and work was lost. It broke my heart.

So I had to be satisfied with my own paintings in my home.

This is a little of the last trace of my work, but it's no longer available to see:
