Color lithograph on paper
Provenance: Mark Blackburn Art
This is the Island Feast design from the menu series the artist Eugene Savage produced for the Matson Navigation Company between 1948 and 1956, used aboard the S.S. Lurline and at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The composition shows a procession of Hawaiian women in flowing gowns bearing fruit and flowers along a shore, drawn from the set of murals Matson commissioned from Savage in 1938. The rich color and stylized figures made these menus among the most collected pieces of mid century Matson and Hawaiian tourist art, and Savage's work was recognized in the Smithsonian's American Lithographs exhibition in 1951.
