As there is a saying, paper speaks more than words. Art is a very important piece of work for all mankind. Though many of us may not realize it, there is much more to art than just a paper and some colours. We are surrounded by art in all spheres of life and it is important for all of us to understand the importance of art and its different forms. Given below are some of the best cities that display modern art on its pavement and roadsides and are visited daily by people from all over the world.
The American Fraternal society members are well known for their exquisite piece of art and sculptures. They have been inspiring the contemporary generation; even today with their unique piece of artwork drawn during the 1850- 1930.A velvet tunic has been made for around 1900 team members to show respect and gratitude for sharing their wonderful piece of art with us. The wives of the team members have carved and embroidered small houses consisting of ceremonial objects and ritual props that can very well confuse all outsiders. Curators, historians as well as dealers have been trying to decipher the design of these objects in the markets.
Aimee E. Newell has been on a quest to comprehend the textiles that members tie around their waists in lodge ceremonies. These textiles are made of leather and fabric squares which are printed, painted and sewn as well as beaded with images that consist of columns, archways, burning bushes, stones, and candelabra. The museum has also purchased these aprons just last year at 100 hundred dollars each. Little information has been published about the Freemasons’ decorative arts; and Newell also summzied that lodge members might also get worried and shy away from their art being put on display. So much is still left to be studied about these intriguing pieces of art works.
The team at the American Fraternal Society also studied quite a bit about markings as well as symbols on gravestones, furniture lodge murals and silk banners along with sequined velvet costumes. Much has accumulated regarding all kinds of information from the last three decades. It has been said that many of the lodges have closed down and their artwork was left to be gradually decay. A book written by Ms. Newell also encourages art lovers to accumulate more of this unique type of art work. These gems of American history are hidden in these types of lodges in small towns nationwide.
