Purchase: http://der.org/films/portrait-of-george-hardy.html In this slice of Americana we meet George Hardy, an elderly self-taught artist living on Deer Isle, Maine. After making a living as a mason, he began his career in folk art at the age of 60. Isolated from art trends, with no formal training and only a 7th grade education, his sculpture is concrete, raw and direct, very much a part of his environment. Though, authentic, Hardy is keenly aware of the Maine mystique and has learned how to package it well for his summer customers. The film provides points of discussion for the study of American folk art and music and the environments that produce them.Purchase: http://der.org/films/portrait-of-george-hardy.html In this slice of Americana we meet George Hardy, an elderly self-taught artist ...all »Purchase: http://der.org/films/portrait-of-george-hardy.html In this slice of Americana we meet George Hardy, an elderly self-taught artist living on Deer Isle, Maine.
