During the summer of 1938, N. W. Ayer &amp; Son, one of the nation's oldest and most successful advertising firms, approached O'Keefe with a proposal from the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, Ltd. (shortly thereafter to become Dole Company). The firm invited O'Keeffe to the islands as its guest and, in exchange, requested two paintings of unspecified subject for use in a national magazine advertising campaign. O'Keefe remained in Hawai'I for two months, spending the first four weeks on O'ahu. Local newspapers noted the arrival this "famous painter of flowers" and recorded that she was visiting the islands at the invitation of Dole. She spent time on O'ahu, Maui, and Hawai'i. O'Keefe saw the pineapple fields "all sharp and silvery stretching for miles off to the beautiful irregular mountains....I was astonished - it was so beautiful". The practice of joining fine art to advertising, of creating art for commercial purposes, ha been both applauded and condemned, but O'Keefe's attitudes regarding corporate commissions underwent a change during the 1930's. The two paintings she produced for Dole were 'Pineapple Bud' and 'Heliconia - Crabs Claw Ginger' which appeared in magazines including "Vogue' and 'The Saturday Evening Post'. O'Keefe however did produce many paintings from this trip to Hawai'I and these are all included in this book.

This book documents artistic views of Hawaii and its people from 1778 to 1941. Since the beginning of the era of European exploration in the Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands have been the subject of thousands of paintings, prints and drawings. In this study, David W. Forbes frames the context in which visiting and resident artists experienced and portrayed the islands, and presents the finest of their works, to reveal a continuum of dramatic changes affecting Hawaii and its people over a period of more than 160 years. The earliest paintings are by John Webber, official artist for Captain James Cook's third Pacific voyage, arriving in Hawaii in 1778. Other explorer-artists followed as, in the mid-19th century, did Western missionaries and traders. First whaling and then sugar dominated the islands economy. Artists of the period produced pictures that reflected the colourful Hawaiian 1ife and customs of the time. Late in the 19t century, with the arrival of artists such as Charles Furneaux,
