This book explores the work of Shag, America’s hippest neo-tiki artist; Leroy Schmaltz, the granddaddy of 1950’s tiki Americana; and the authentic Oceanic art that influenced them both. This book serves as the catalogue for an exhibition of the same name, which seeks to illuminate traditional tiki culture through the display of primitive anthropomorphic carvings and to show, through the work of Shag and Leroy Schmaltz, how these artists have taken tiki to new levels. This is the softcover edition.
