"Pacific Basin, " Art Deco Painting of Golden Gate Expo in San Francisco
About the Item
Beautifully painted in tones of burnt sienna, cream and watery blue, this rare and early view of the Golden Gate Exposition was painted in 1937, just as Treasure Island was being created for the 1939-40 world's fair. Signed "Worth," probably signifying May French Worth, a California painter, the painting depicts one of the Art Deco exhibition buildings across a channel of water lined by stylized pagodas and filled with Chinese junks. The architectural style of the Expo was dubbed "Pacifica," a merging of Art Deco and a range of Asian styles from Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and China. After the Expo was over, Treasure Island was claimed by the Navy for an airfield.
