That is great info, Robert, thank you for inquiring. I have been meaning to go over to O.A. since I got back, but first I have to pluck all the material they lent me for from the Tiki Modern folders that Taschen returned to me! :) Proves that there are chapters and persons (like Demitirios Chavez) in Tiki history that have yet to be uncovered! Robert Carter apparently was the grandfather of mid-century Tiki art. He worked with Eli Hedley, and "fathered" Bob and Leroy. I know nothing else about him. Here are some ancient scrolls from the O.A. archive:
This feather stone head that now rests in my front yard looks like it possibly could be from this Tiki forge:
(but it also COULD be from Mike Gildea's shop:) |
