In Search of Frank Bowers... - General Tiki

"...MY NAME IS ALFREDO DEREK IM WORK IN CONVENTIÓN CENTER RIVIERA IN ENSENADA MEXICO , IN THIS PLACE WE HAVE A PAINT OF FRANK BOWERS..." And although the (non-Beachcomber) mural that Tom posted could be a Bowers, it looks to be in a style evocative of Bower's earlier work in the 1930's. I doubt that a single location has 2 Bowers' murals separated by that much time. Thus the Bowers mural being referenced by Senor Derek is most likely the Beachcomber mural (I hope, I hope, I hope). :) (Edited to remove the double napkin on this page) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2012-05-18 09:50 ]
