About "The Elephant Towers & Tower Of The Sun":
This 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 was 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 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.
