Mal Flanders (?-2004)
Tarpum Bay, Eleuthera
Mal Flanders began his career in art at a newspaper in Miami Florida as a cartoon artist. He immigrated to the Bahamas during the early seventies. During his early years on the island Mal Flanders brought to Eleuthera the artistry of films. Back then very few locals had televisions and depended on Mal's weekend film shows in the local schoolhouse as a source of entertainment.
Mal was a quiet man who reserved his time for developing
and creating his unique brand of art. Each piece of the artist's work depicts
some local or national Bahamian symbol or caricature. His art studio in
Tarpum Bay attracted thousands of locals and visitors in to see his signature
artwork. Those people familiar with his work returned and told friends and
colleagues of his outstanding paintings.
