NEW YORK AP The new Museum of Early American Folk Arts director Mary Childs Black learned her passion from four portraits by Erastus Salisbury Field, painted of her Merrill ancestors. She became curator at Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Collection, wrote for magazines, and organized Smithsonian shows. The museum opened in 1963 and plans four to six yearly exhibits including toys, santos, gravestone rubbings, and signs of living folk art, with a Hudson River theme for next summer.
