Women of Hawai'i
Inspired by their power and sensuality, artist Pegge Hopper has dedicated her life'¬'s work to painting the women of Hawaii's native population. Renowned throughout the islands as well as on the mainland, Hopper shares her favorite pieces in WOMEN OF HAWAII. In a style that combines classic drawing and graphic design, Hopper'¬'s Hawaiian women gaze from the canvas with a straightforward look that is at once challenging and serene. Reflecting the strength and vitality of the Polynesian culture, WOMEN OF HAWAII has a mythical presence that makes this collection an important contribution to Hawaiian culture and the art world at large. ‚A[ Features 65 full-color reproductions never before published in book form and commentary from the artist about her process and inspiration.‚A[ A must-have for art enthusiasts and collectors of Hawaiiana.When I posted the article "Painting Sunshine," I had not seen Pegge Hopper's canvas of her two daughters on the beach. It is a good example of the painting of sunshine. The figures are modelled, but only in a few close values, shallowly. The sensation of bright sunlight is achieved by the extreme interval between the lit and shaded portions of the sand on the beach.Apart from the impression of midday sun, the composition of the picture is a marvel. Though&#; the main figure is in repose, the picture is dynamic because there isn't a horizontal line in it; all are diagonals.
The painting is compelling to the viewer because it is full of novelty and the unexpected, yet in perfect equilibrium. Variety, ( in this case cropped extremities, hidden faces, foreshortened torsos, feet at the top) is an achievable quality, and so is equilibrium, if you employ symmetry. But to get both balance and variety into the same composition is something for an artist to strive for. Pegge Hopper has done it here.
