Fancy getting yourself some Hawaiian art. The problem is, most people seem to have difficulty in wrapping their heads around the imbroglio of what constitutes it, in the first place, and rightly so. After all, there are no hard and fast, tried and tested theories, principles, and staple knowledge that limit the delineation to this and that. However, most people can agree on one thing, in that these Hawaii ocean paintings are as Hawaiian as it can get.
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.
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.
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.
But could you ever get tired of looking at these pictures, though. It seems that every variation is like new, and even with old pictures, theres a certain comfort to be derived from glancing at it for a long time. It is as if you can hear the sound of the waves, feel the wisp of the breeze, smell the salt from the sea, and see the splendor of sunsets in all their august glory.
The point has gone on to be really long winding. However, the point in this whole matter is that the art here is complex and diverse. The styles to choose from are quite broad, comprehensive, and diverse. That reins in the true artists, who have already been able to find their styles and are also open to appreciate all others, not willing to be disheartened by it.
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.
Hawaiian art, these days, is more alive than ever. You will be hard put to find a more art conscious and sensitive state. They have many administrative acts and policies regarding the acquisition of artworks, and so and so. Their museums and other creative centers are also very much alive and kicking.
Therefore, there are really many delineations when it comes to art. Traditional artworks are still possible to source in many channels since it is a very nifty way to preserve native culture or are just really lucrative in the tourist trade. However, pre colonial or post colonial, there is one quintessential feature that has never gone amiss, the ocean.
