"Elephant Towers & Tower of the Sun"; Limited Edition on Archival Paper (6 of 50)
The original painting is inspired by the architectural wonders of the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-40 that took place at Treasure Island- the last world's fair of San Francisco Bay! Two of the marvels showcased were the Elephant Towers and Tower of the Sun, that stood at the expo. Architect Arthur Brown designed the 400 foot Tower of the Sun, a Gothic-style monolith. It was the tallest monument at the fair, an iconic centerpiece of the fairgrounds. It could be seen from across the bay, and it was illuminated nightly by powerful searchlights! Ernest E. Weihe and Donald Macky designed the Elephant Towers - mingling Oriental, Cambodian and Mayan styles inspired pyramids which converge sharply into towers supported by formalized elephants and climaxed by elephant heads and howdahs. This night scene, painted in abstracted forms and bright colors, gives an effect of an ancient city, bringing beauty, refinement, and richness interwoven with a mystical touch of yesterday.
Print size: 11" x 14"; Signed and numbered by artist Patricia Araujo.

"Art Deco Textiles" book by Charlotte Samuels
The Paris 1925 Exhibition brought the richly exotic designs of Paul Poiret and Raoul Dufy to world wide attention and the fabrics pictured here trace the Art Deco style as it evolves from its initial vibrant blossoming to a starker, more geometric look. This was a time when abstract decoration came into its own by focusing attention on pattern and ornament, as artists and designers looked afresh at the conventions of pictorial representation, and felt free to innovate with dazzling results.
