American Fancy: Exuberance in the Arts, 1790-1840

by Sumpter Priddy

Two hundred years ago, the word "fancy" was used to describe "furnishings and decorative arts with exciting patterns and bright colors." This glorious exhibition catalogue accompanied a show organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum and guest curated by Sumpter T. Priddy III. Sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the exhibit traveled to the Peabody Essex Museum and the Maryland Historical Society. "Rich, fully illustrated, wondrously researched, and bound in a cover that imitates a typical Fancy pattern, American Fancy does its marvelous subject true."
