Yes, some is "tacky", but I see a lot of masks that look like copies of original primitive art, and certainly more Bhudda heads than You can shake a stick at. Tacky as in rather poor taste for your living room and tacky as in painted neon colors is a wide distance. Compare Party City tiki to Pier One African... It's just a huge disrespect for a culture. But if you raise a stink about it, everything would go away, the awful and the decent. |
