What are
theorem paintings?
Theorem
painting (meaning painting with the aid of stencils)
on a cotton velvetine fabric is considered traditional
folk art. It was popular in the 1800s. Theorem painting
is most often done on white velvet fabric (Paintings
on Fabric), which gives the painting a soft, lovely
depth. Oil paint is presently used as it simulates
the look of the antique theorems whose paint was
hand mixed. Fruit and floral arrangements are the
most popular subjects, but scenes were sometimes
done.
