Photograph
8 in x 17 in including original period frame / 20.3 x 43.2 cm
Provenance: John Dominis Holt, Honolulu, HI
This 1920s photograph shows Kīlauea Volcano, attributed to Ogura Yonesuke Itoh, a Japanese-born artist and photographer active in Hawaiʻi. Itoh is associated with Hawaiʻi’s volcano school of landscape imagery, where artists and photographers documented the dramatic light, smoke, and lava of the islands’ volcanic landscapes. The John Dominis Holt provenance gives the work a direct Honolulu collecting context.
The long horizontal format emphasizes the glowing lava field against the dark volcanic forms and evening sky. The image has a painterly quality, reflecting the visual overlap between photography and volcano painting in early twentieth-century Hawaiʻi. Presented in its original period frame, the piece fits within Hawaiiana, volcanic landscape photography, and Japanese-American artistic activity in Hawaiʻi.
