Synopsis
Labeled "Leeteg the Legend" by James Michener and Often Called the "American Gauguin" Edgar Leeteg was the father of black velvet art and the genesis of a genre continuing today with the tiki and Polynesian pop art movement, nearly 70 years later. Describing himself as a "fornicating, gin-soaked, dope-head," Leeteg took on the elite of the art establishment of Honolulu Academy of Arts in 1938 and shamed them in the press. Always the shrewd promoter and a creative genius, Edgar Leeteg possessed many titles, astounding fans and antagonizing critics. His insatiable lust for life led the author James Michener to label him "Leeteg the Legend" in his book, Rascals in Paradise (1957). This is a biography of the artist Leeteg, who left California in 1933 bound for the South Pacific. His home in Tahiti allowed him to paint nudes, drink, and party with sensual vahines from the beaches to the bars of Tahiti. He was a wealthy artist and legend in his lifetime, a goal few can achieve. "Cook's work is entertaining and knowledgeable. The breadth of its featured cast, quotes, and remembrances make this biography lively. Tahiti, its people, roistering ex-pats, and luminous landscapes vibrate like personal memories. Leeteg's landscapes appear alongside Paul Gauguin's, questions the fine and arbitrary line that separates "popular" art from work acclaimed "great." --Foreword Reviews, Gold Medal Winner: IBPA Book Award for Best Biography, 2022 Iconoclast, contrarian, pugilist, artist--Edgar Leeteg is unforgettable. Considered the "American Gaugin," the rakish ladies' man originated the modern technique of oil painting on black velvet, a style made famous by the Tiki art craze of the twentieth century. With just a few paint brushes and oils, Leeteg left California in 1933 for the South Pacific. His home in Tahiti allowed him to paint, drink, and party, earning a reputation as a brilliant, if antagonistic, fixture of the South Pacific art scene. Tourists would seek him out for his generosity of wine, women, and song, while critics found themselves targets of his pen. Leeteg's story is vivid and gripping, with both humor and suspense characterizing his rebellious life. What can the artist teach us about what it means to create and love without fear? Leeteg: Babes, Bars, Beaches, and Black Velvet Art tells the story of this larger-than-life creative, from his early days in California to his legacy as a pioneer of black velvet art.
