Much of the most interesting American primitive art was done in watercolor. Some of the most representative -and also some of the best-is included in the traveling exhibition of "101 American Primitive Watercolors," collected by Edgar and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch, which this week goes on view at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts...
