"Tiki Art Two" picks up where "Tiki Art Now!" left off. Otto von Stroheim in his second curated Tiki art show at The Shooting Gallery in San Francisco takes us deeper into the Tiki Art Movement. Jeffrey Vallance provides us with an authoritative historical perspective on what he calls "The Four Generations of Tiki Art." After recognizing the ancient un-named Polynesian artists Jeffrey identifies the first generation of Polynesian Pop Culture as starting in the 1920's. He then takes us through to our current time and place in the third millennium while identifying each of the four generations and their absorbed influences and their influences on threads of our cultural fabric such as music and commercial products. "Tiki Art Two"catalogs the contents of The Shooting Gallery's Tiki Art Show held in September of 2005.
