Scope and Contents
A comparative review of the mail art of Ray Johnson on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the folk art of Nellie Mae Rowe at the American Folk Art Museum points out their similarities in wanting "to communicate with a larger world and their urge to stay inside a small one, peopled only by their private thoughts and apparitions." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
