Whenever Tretchikoff is mentioned, I have to recommend this fine book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861541945/qid%3D1040524389/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-1630691-1500625

and the website where you still can buy his prints http://www.tatea.com/PRINTTRECH.htm

and the Tretchikoff Yahoo group (!)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vladimirtretchikoff/
(which is a tad less active than Tiki Central)

...and mention the fact that I love his "Lady of the Orient " painting I have in my bedroom :)

By the way, none of his green/blue skinned asian beauties were ever a.) nude, or b.) Polynesian. Still, because of the Chinese restaurant/Polynesian cross-fertilization they can be found in Tiki temples, like the Kon -Tiki in Tuscon, Arizona.
