An ‘ōlelo no‘eau for the week: E lauhoe mai nā wa‘a; i ke kā, i ka hoe; i ka hoe, i ke kā; pae aku i ka ‘āina. Translation - Everybody paddle the canoes together; bail and paddle, paddle and bail, and the shore is reached. If everyone pitches in with will, the work is quickly done.

“Volcano at Night,” c. 1880s, by Jules Tavernier. Image courtesy of @honolulumuseum. Lured by the majesty of earth being born anew at #Kilauea, painters made long sea journeys to the Hawaiian Islands in the late 19th century. Collectively, they—14 in total—became known as the Volcano School and produced hundreds of work. #VolcanoSchool members hailed from the Pacific, North America, #Europe, and Asia. Ogura Yonesuke Itoh made his paintings in his 20s after he jumped ship in #Honolulu as a Japanese sailor. Tavernier, who was from France, painted from close observation, his works rendered nearly entirely in black and crimson. Volcano School artists were inspired by religious #wonder, transcendentalist views on the purity of nature, and Manifest Destiny. Their oil paintings also played a functional role, capturing the dramatic light of the sublime better than cameras, which were flooded by the radiance of molten lava, their plates easily over-exposed and ruined. As a whole, their creations border on the #surreal even though they were painted realistically, capturing the unearthly #drama of eruptions in the blackness of night. They display #lava that looks like rivers and waterfalls, #fire and embers replacing the cool hues of #rivers and the sea. #FLUXArts #nmgnetwork
