Your talents are endless. Big Bro, Just got your book in yesterday and I love it. I have not had a chance to read it cover to cover yet, but I see that you also speak a little to Picasso and his inspiration from both Oceanic and African arts combined. When I look at Picasso's work, the two styles really do look intermingled to me...It also appears to me that in the 50's and 60's this was going on everywhere...the tiki mugs, the tiki carvings, etc. Picasso really launched a rocket. Am I wrong in this assumption?
