Summary: |
Written by the artist's daughter, she details his personal life in Hilo and his artistic progress and training.
"He loved the outdoors, and Helen's tales of their camping days on beaches around the islands tell of the
great companionship between father and daughter. The story is sprinkled with familiar kamaaina names,
and with places he painted that have been destroyed in the name of progress. She tells of his being sent to Paris
to study art by the Honorable Charles R. Bishop. The influences of various painted on his thinking and work, in Hawaii,
Paris and New York, and his gradual development as a true impressionist are carefully documented....
He left behind a fascinating story and a body of magnificent work which
reflect his life and times in Hawaii in all their tranquil color and beauty...." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
