Oregon Coast

By Karol Good

Acrylic on Canvas

24" x 21"

Karol and her late husband Dr. Richard Good were in the group of dedicated Chanute citizens that banded together in the late 1950's to help Osa Johnson's mother Belle Leighty and Martin's sister Freda create this museum.

Over the years, Karol's paintings, sculptures, paper works, textiles and drawings have helped raise much needed funds for our museum, especially at our Artisan driven annual Safari High Tea that Karol's daughter Diane works so hard on each year!

This piece is valued at $200.

Our museum hosts special exhibitions by international, national, as well as local and regional artists in our Stott Explorers Gallery. Often these artists are generous enough to donate select pieces from their shows and private collections to help support the museum.

This orginal art piece was created by Jim Sallenbach for a collaborative show entitled An Artistic View of Martin & Osa Johnson's World. As part of this exhibition, Sallenbach channeled the exotic locations explored by Martin and Osa Johnson and expressed them in creative pieces of paper art, sculpture and mixed media collages.

This mixed media creation features a collage of clock imagery with a silhouette photo of Martin + Osa's airplanes in flight. It will come in an 11" x 14" thick Mylar sleeve frame ready to display.

Artist Background Brief:

Jim Sallenbach, a self-taught, mixed media artist, describes his own art succinctly as "If I drew a tree, it would not look like a tree." He takes ordinary and often discarded objects and turns them into thought-provoking individual pieces of art. Jim's prolific works have been exhibited in Kansas and California.
He focuses primarily on sculptures in 2D and 3D using paper, found and re-purposed objects, as well as canvas and board.

Vanuatu Slit Drum (atinktink)

At 12 inches, this tourist carving in the style of a Vanuatu Atinktink is a true example of suitcase art.

In Vanuatu, a slit drum is a musical instrument that is traditionally played by men of high rank. Martin + Osa visited Vanuatu in 1917 & 1919 on their first two expeditions.

This item was donated by Dr. Lamont Lindstrom, one of our museum's Honorary Trustees.

Dr. Lindstrom, Kendall Professor at the University of Tulsa, has long-term research interests in Vanuatu and other Melanesian countries focused on local knowledge systems and social movements, kava, World War Two ethnohistory, contemporary chiefs and the politics of tradition, cultural policy development, sociolinguistics, urban migration and personhood, and early Pacific photography. His books include CARGO CULT: STRANGE STORIES FROM MELANESIA AND BEYOND, ISLAND ENCOUNTERS: BLACK AND WHITE MEMORIES OF THE PACIFIC WAR, CHIEFS TODAY: TRADITIONAL PACIFIC LEADERSHIP AND THE POSTCOLONIAL STATE, and ACROSS THE WORLD WITH THE JOHNSONS: VISUAL CULTURE AND EMPIRE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
