Unknown Artist: Ehre Vater Artist

The Ehre Vater Artist was an American fraktur artist active between 1782 to 1828, It was found that the artist could be traced in every county in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ontario that saw the settlement of German immigrants. The name given to this artist is a german phrase meaning "honor father and mother", which is frequently found in the artist's art. It's believed that the artist lived among the Moravians of Salem, North Carolina. He however did accept patrons from other religious groups for example Roman Catholics. 

The artist included aspects of Moravian Hymnody and had a particular skill in their cursive. It is also drawn on special paper with engraved scenes, which was unique in the works of known fraktur artists. Other common symbols in their art are pilasters used as portions of borers, large geometric balls that are sometimes surrounded by a piece of verse, and snakes twined with texts such as hymn lyrics. 

Four known artists of this artist are in the collection of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, and other works are owned by the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, and Winterthur Museum.
