About this Item

Square 4to. Pp. 94. Introduction by Martin Denny. Lavishly illustrated with old black and white photography, color reproductions of Leeteg's work, images of ephemera, etc. Bibliography. Bound in illustrated glossy wraps with french fold. Inscribed and dated on the title page. Inscription reads, "To -- + --, Best Regards, [signed] Greg Escalante / 9-04-99 Bumbershoot Debut". Bumbershoot is the annual arts festival in Seattle for which a curated art exhibit is a central feature. The book remains an endearing legacy of Escalante's dedication to outsider art. As for Leeteg, for an untold number of besotted, barstool-perched WWII vets, he provided the dream of South Seas longing. Today, with the patina of age and Lucky Strikes, those paintings are increasingly revered for the role they played in mythologizing Polynesia. Fittingly, the works by an lowbrow artist who despised the art establishment are now admired by those with sympathetic views. Seller Inventory # 2154
