Bob, I have several others that Bob MacDougall sent me of these "Haitian Primative" paintings. I will scan them and send to you as soon as I can. They were very colorful from what I can tell. I don't have a full color photo of the fronts, however I do have two that show corners of two of the cages. The ones with the whimsical clowns had a black background and multi colored figures. The other paintings, African, Indian, etc. had a yellow background and multi colored figures. I believe the interiors and the bars may have been a color other that white and black. Dom
I threw this one in here as this is the only photo I have seen of the 1954 paint job. This is a Howard Tibbals photo from the Ringling Museums.
Bob,
