1950’s Iconic Atomic Boomerang Miami Beach Mid Century Barkcloth Vintage Fabric
I always felt that as I walked through Miami Beach hotels in the late 80’s… That they spoke of generations and decades of trends… Hotels often closed and boarded up with all the furnishings still inside… Right beside headboards and upholstered chairs in completely contemporary atomic boomerang prints from the 50’s… And together they looked like a marriage made in heaven… But it was unintentional… Quite possibly because of frugality of the times… I did them inspired by what I saw in the old hotels… The front side of a pillow often a crazy wonderful flamboyant 30’s tropical… And the back side a mid century modern 50’s atomic boomerang… The 50’s brought such a innovative spirit to South Beach… Infused with the streamline modern ideas of of the Art Deco era… The architecture of waves in the stucco on the hotel fronts… Synonymous with South Beach’s Art Deco renaissance… And at the very least have become part of the story I’ve relayed from the images held captive in my mind.. A premier mid century atomic boomerang barkcloth fabric… All the colors of Miami Beach from the 50’s… For me I liken it to the old wooden cabanas that were always painted the best pastel colors that are exactly what people have come to expect from Miami Beach… This wonderful highly textured document is the heaviest of the textured cotton barkcloths… Preserved and stored for the last 65+ years since it first made its debut… Released at a time in america when people were excited about the progress the country was making… The space program and scientific discovery… Creating a movement of mid century modernism that was sweeping the minds and hearts of americans… A movement and revolution of minds that even today has taken hold… Crossing all generational gaps… Inspiring the young contemporaries… The kindred spirits with an appreciation for the hand crafted treasures of their lineage… Miami Beach cabana colors… A very fabulous turquoise blue green… The color they used to paint the inside of the pools to give that uber caribbean edge… Minty blue green hombre… Metallic liquid gold which is fantastic as a representation of the materials used that were influenced by modern technology… With black accents on a marvelous clean white ground… If you are a Floridian or a vintage Floridian at heart… Or a tropical modernist… Or somewhere in between… Then I highly recommend this grand spectacle… Measures 24 inches wide x 26 inches long. Signed “Guaranteed to be Vat Prints”. But who wants to take a return right? So I do my best to add lots of photos that depict the weight and texture and do so thoughtfully so you are getting the most virtual experience. Of course I will take a return… I’m just hoping more the pricing will WOW YA over wanting to return it : Here is to a summer of fabulous Florida Finds.
