People seem to have lots of objectified stereotypes when it comes to Hawaii. From hula skirts to pineapples, there is just no limit in how fixed some peoples minds can be. However, one thing that cant be disputed when it has to do with analogy with the Aloha State is the Big Old Blue. Take a moment for these Hawaii ocean paintings.
Then again, there are teeming particularities when it comes to the Aloha States artworks. Before the Europeans arrived, they have already had their ways and means of doing things and, of course, they had their own art styles in kind, as well. And then you have the colonial era artworks, the Post ones, the Moderns, Post moderns. All in all, there seems to be no end to the technicalities presenting themselves.
Anyway, if you have ever been to the Aloha State, then it will be great to have some keepsake to remember it by. If you havent, then maybe you would like to have some inspiring memento to keep you working towards this really enviable goal. Really, though, the art scene that you will find here is not like anywhere else the whole world over.
Interestingly enough, one thing thats unique with the art world of Hawaii is the so called Volcano School. This is a composite of people who liked to paint no less than Hawaiis dramatically erupting volcanoes in both its diurnal and nocturnal glory. Well, you cant deny that an erupting volcano makes for a really good picture. This genre peaked between the 1880s and 90s, in which period the Mauna Loa and Kilauea were intermittently active.
Then again, if you are an art lover, you will be able to find scenic spots here that will inspire you and motivate you in your artistic endeavors. The openness and versatility of the culture are sure to keep you afloat since you will have nothing to be afraid or intimidated of. In Hawaii, there are all kinds of artisans, who create many kinds of unique artworks, who handle different styles, media, and techniques.
Really, though, that maudlin soliloquy was for the mere purpose of transmitting the beauty of Hawaii. And then, there are the pictures that capture this beauty so impeccably that they take on the beauty itself. Getting these paintworks and prints will really be tantamount to getting a piece of this Pacific Diamond with you.
There are also the half breeds, or native art sprinkled with Western influences. Of course, this can be another technical consideration in itself. After all, when can one definitively say that something is Western or whatnot. An acceptable answer can be founded on the subject matter and styles. It varies, though, and more often than not, it is down on intuition.
Aside from culture, there is also history to take into account. Just like any other state or county, there have been bookmarks in its history dividing one era from another. In Hawaiis case, it was the arrival of Captain James Cook, and the eras he divides are the pre European and the colonial era. The art can be accordingly dichotomized in between, however, there are also the middle elements, those that have been produced by natives, but inundated with Western materials, ideals, and so and so.
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.
