Vintage Art OOAK Dolls
OOAK, meaning "one of a kind," is an acronym that is widely used on the Internet by artists who make original items such as jewelry, artist dolls, fashion dolls, reborn baby dolls, weapons, sculptures, and clothing. OOAK dolls are also referred to as repaints, as their original face paint is removed by the artist, who then paints the doll in a realistic, fantasy or celebrity facial style.
Dolls have always been created as folk art in cultures around the globe, and in the 20th century, dolls began to be accepted as high art.
