Would anyone here consider "Tiki art" to be part of the Low Brow art movement? Here's one definition: "An underground visual art movement that arose in the Los Angeles, California, area in the late 1970s. Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other California subcultures." I would argue that classic Tiki-style and Tiki Modern are the precursors to the Low Brow art movement and a significant part of it with Tiki Revival art. Low Brow art has a self-consious sense of humor to it so maybe that's why the artists are so nice. (But GROG did hurt my feelings one time. :D ) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-06-15 11:10 ]
