Original 1/1 Oceanic Arts Collage & Advertisement by LeRoy Schmaltz

An exceptional one-of-one original piece of Oceanic Arts history, this framed collage and advertisement was created by LeRoy Schmaltz of the legendary Oceanic Arts.

The composition features a collection of Polynesian and Oceanic architectural reference imagery, including traditional structures, carved elements, bamboo construction, huts, and fencing. What makes this piece particularly special are LeRoy Schmaltz’s original handwritten notes directly on the artwork, documenting his ideas and design concepts. Notes reference elements such as huts, fences, wood poles, bamboo poles, and New Guinea village inspiration, providing a fascinating look into his creative process.

Marked “Oceanic Arts Co.”, this is not a reproduction or later print. It is an original 1/1 collage and working advertisement/design piece, preserving the hands-on creative process behind one of the most influential names in American Tiki and Polynesian design.

The artwork is presented in a highly decorative woven-style tropical frame that perfectly complements its Oceanic Arts heritage and makes it ready for display.
