Whoooaaa! These panels are among my 10 all-time favorite pieces of Tiki modern art! I think they are the Guernica of Tiki! Great shot, with the light giving it a sheen that really makes the lines pop out. I am so glad I got to photograph these still in situ, and use the pics in my 2nd book. I would love to see closer shots of the small metal pieces. You know I am not sure anymore if these were designed by Stubenberg, or by Edward Brownlee. I seem to remember that Jeff Berry told me Brownlee claimed them to be his work. But they just seem so much like Stubenberg's style. Maybe Stubenberg drew them, and Brownlee carved them? I think Brownlee is still living up North somewhere... |
