Jesus, matadors, panthers, bandits, Indians, movie stars, waifs, and, of course, Elvis are recognized icons of the oft-despised, uber-kitsch art form of black velvet painting. In Black Velvet Art author Eric A. Eliason and photographer Scott Squire present a comprehensive overview of this covertly-loved and overtly-reviled tradition. In cooperation with a network of artists, collectors, importers, and gallery owners in Tijuana, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Calgary, this book draws from the largest survey of velvet painting ever undertaken. The book traces velvet's historical development as a folk art shaped by both indigenous traditions as well as Western consumer expectations in such markets as the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, and particularly the U.S./Mexico border and the black velvet capital of Tijuana. In black velvet, class and taste challenge art as a consumer phenomenon, democratic spirit faces down elitism, reproduction questions originality, and sexuality seduces and provokes religiosity. What is most significant about black velvet art to many Americans is its signaling of the nadir of bad taste. Black velvet is the "anti-art" in many ways. Eliason seeks to explore how and why black velvet serves this function and to examine ways it deserves a glowing redemption.

LEETEG,BABES, BARS, BEACHES, and BLACK VELVET ART The sensational story of Leeteg, black velvet artist and party man of Tahiti, who painted nude vahines in his tropical paradise Villa Velour on the Island of Moorea, 1933-1953. The "American Gauguin", Edgar Leeteg, left California in 1933, with oil paints and a few paint brushes, bound for the South Pacific. He was the original "Tiki Man" who started the black velvet painting craze linked to South Pacific themed restaurants. His home in Tahiti allowed him to paint nudes, drink, and party with sensual babes at Quinn's Bar in Papeete, Tahiti. He described himself as a "fornicating, gin-soaked, dope-head" and all the artists and writers of the South Pacific knew of him. He took on the Hawaiian art establishment's, Honolulu Academy of Arts and author James Michener labeled him "Leeteg the Legend" in his book Rascals in Paradise (1957). His many artist and author friends included: Charles Marek, Henry Christian, Robert Lee Eskridge, Willis Shook, Robert Dean Frisbie, Don Blanding, and Mutiny on the Bounty authors, James Hall and Charles Nordhoff helped secure his special place in history. He became one of the wealthiest and most famous artists in the first half of the 20th century. He was the Father of Black Velvet Art and the genesis of a genre which has continued today with Polynesian Pop Art and the Tiki Revolution. This is a story of a most memorable rascal from the South Pacific.
