In Situ: American Folk Art in Place by Jim Linderman shows his long time collection of vernacular art makers from the early part of the last century to more recent years.  Many of the photographs, never seen, show early artisans and eccentrics at work on unusual yard environments, buildings, sculpture, carvings and religious shrines.  A large section of the photographs show circus sideshow banners and religious signs, all "in situ" and in place.  Little text but wonderful images, and a small but nice contribution to our understanding of backyard artists from the past.  Linderman maintains the noted Dull Tool Dim Bulb art and photography site as well as Vintage Sleaze, a fun and sexy look at the early illustrators, artists, photographers and merchants of American Erotica from the 1960s. A portion of his photography collection was used to illustrate the Grammy nominated Take Me to the Water: Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography from 2009, this book continues the display of Arcane Americana and extraordinary photographs he has assembled over the last 20 years.  In Situ: American Folk Art in Place is the third publication from Dull Tool Dim Bulb books, which specializes in unusual art and photography books.  Previous volumes covered early amateur erotic photography "Shy Shamed Secret Shadowed Hidden" in which dozens of vintage vernacular photographs of women hiding their facial features from the camera were shown, and "Gals Gams and Garters" which documented a most curious scrapbook found in Virginia in the 1960s.  Linderman has numerous projects in the works, many of them are linked at his directory HERE.
