Witco with African headdress and Abelam tribe New Guinea mask paint, What a nerd I am for dissecting the piece... Witco Polynesian Idol (Hugh Hefner) I only collect Witco I like, I see plenty of bedroom sets, bars, lamps and even fire place tool holders in the chess set, or generic styles around here but I only like the tiki/african/modern lines. I gave away a fireplace tool chess horse/knight to Laney on TC once, kinda liked it. I don't like the bars much, even the tiki one's, that much dark wood just doesn't seem tropical or Hawaiian to me, so I have a tiki farm bar instead. MY top 5? A top five is really hard because I like so many styles and art is so subjective, whose is better? Artists I like in the low brow school, Miles Thompson, Shag, Thorsten, Clayton Brothers, and alot of u guys on TC!! Artists I like in the pre-brow (illustration)?? school, Jim Flora, Gene Deitch, Robert Crumb, Mary Blair, and of course Marvel, DC and Hanna Barbera cartoonists and comix artists. Artists I like in the Modern school, Picasso, Braque, Klee, Miro, Pollock, and more... Artists I like in more classical styles, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Davinci and the Greeks who came waaay before them whom they borrowed heavily from, many of those works are no longer extant and names are lost to history but considering that much great Roman sculpture was based on Greek models We can only imagine the beauty of the original models. Funny thing is there appears to be an artistic descendany in the artists I name above... Picasso/Braque influenced Klee and Miro, I strongly believe all the previous influenced Flora, Flora is named as an influence by Deitch, and Flora and Deitch are named as influences by Shag. I also see Miles Thompson's work being influenced by Flora. Thorsten's work has some cubist leanings in the Picasso Braque vernacular as well. Each of these is definitely his or her own unique artist with a great style. I have a drawing the Clayton brothers drew for me. I'll scan and post it..
