There are few places that are truly and quintessentially iconic. When one thinks of Hawaii, the active mind immediately conjures pictures of palm trees, coconut, hula girls, and lei, or whatever. Anyway, if you loved that stereotype, then maybe youll enjoy in checking out these Hawaii ocean paintings.
The exquisite land of Hawaii is just that, so beautiful and exquisite, that no doubt it excites and tingles that preternatural Artists Sense. You will not be hard put to find a spot in this paradise youll like, and then translate that picture into the immortal canvas. That this paradisiacal state has inspired numerous artists is not exactly news. However, that some artworks have come to be such cherished collectibles might be news to you.
Forget Hawaii for a moment, and lets zero down on the Waters. The thing is, whether in Polynesia or not, this is always a daunting artistic subject to try. There are all the blends of color, and that restless movement of the waves which must be captured. Cobalt blue, aquamarine, steel gray, green flashes, and then splashes of white, there is the whole palette of colors to choose from.
Of course, it should be noted that Hawaii is also a melting pot of cultures and histories. Therefore, there are really no proper delineations on what constitutes true blue Hawaiian art. It does not necessarily have to contain hula dancers, palm trees, pineapples, and sunset. It doesnt even have to subscribe to a particular style or movement.
It would be hard to box Hawaii into such tight categories. After all, there are nearly a hundred and fifty islands, and you have different attractions and lures in each. Therefore, there can be really such a variety in whatever is produced therein.
The early exploration by the Europeans brought many interesting artworks down its trail. This is not to be wondered at, seeing as how these people deliberately loaded their expeditions with documenters and chroniclers to paint out the landscape, flora, fauna, and so called savages in all the regions they set sail to. We have mentioned the Volcano School, in which the aforementioned were latently responsible for creating. The artists in this school usually used watercolors. The trend was such that important people wound up calling this period the Hawaiian Renaissance. Hmm, not bad.
Of course, there arent merely the paintings or so called fine arts. This state is rich in other art forms too, whether theyre indigenous or adopted. For instance, you have petroglyphs, kapa fabrics, feather work, wood carvings, and even tattooing, which is a legit form of art. Kapa, in particular, is quite versatile, since it can be used as clothing, banners, robes, bedspreads, et cetera, et cetera.
Of course, you have certain key points to keep in mind. Some scholars have taken it upon themselves to really delineate the Hawaiian enterprise. In the broadest category, you have pre European, modernist, post modernist, and non native art. As you can perhaps guess, the first is attributed to the Polynesians who have long peopled the islands, from about 1000 to 2000 years ago. Theres also the European era, which was around the time when Captain Cook arrived with his crew.
Although no hard and fast rules define what constitutes the art of Hawaii, that only applies in the de facto way. In the greater scheme of things, there are objet d arts and some such curios that scream Hawaiian without you even asking. There is no limit to the beauty and promise of this place.
