<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>This book explores Georgia O'Keeffe's love for Hawaii through more than 15 paintings inspired by the beautiful landscape.</b> <p/>In 1939, Georgia O'Keeffe, who was among the most famous artists in the United States, accepted a commission from the Hawaiian Pineapple Company to produce two paintings for advertising campaigns. Her nine-week trip to Hawai'i resulted in more than 20 paintings, which reveal that O'Keeffe--most commonly associated with the stark deserts of New Mexico--was profoundly inspired by what she saw and experienced on the lush, tropical Hawaiian Islands. The exhibition <i>Georgia O'Keeffe: Visions of Hawai'i</i>, and this accompanying volume, explores this little-known chapter in the artist's career. Glowing with color, these paintings demonstrate O'Keeffe's unique ability to make any place her own. This landmark volume offers a unique perspective by foregrounding the ecological complexity that is hidden behind O'Keeffe's depictions of Hawai'i-one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. <br><b>Published in association with The New York Botanical Garden.</b> <p/>With contributions by Brian M. Boom, DeSoto Brown, Otto Degener and Isa Degener, Samuel M. 'Ohukani'ohi'a Gon III, and Alicia Inez Guzmán.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b></b><i>Georgia O'Keeffe: Visions of Hawai'i</i> is a truly landmark volume offering a unique perspective by foregrounding the ecological complexity that is hidden behind O'Keeffe's depictions of Hawai'i-one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. -<i>Midwest Book Review <p/></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>THERESA PAPANIKOLAS is Deputy Director of Art and Programs and Curator of European and American Art at the Honolulu Museum of Art.<br/><br/>Joanna L.
