Pegge Hopper:
Pegge Hopper is one of Hawaii’s favorite artists, most known for painting Hawaiian wahine (women) within large flat-color compositions. Originally from California and a graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Hopper first took a job in New York designing department store murals, then moved to Europe in the early 60’s where she created illustrations for La Rinascente, Italy’s largest department store. After a vacation with her husband to Hawaii, the couple made the islands their permanent home, and it was a trip to the State Archives with its photographs of native Hawaiian women that sparked her passion for painting once more.
Hopper’s background as a graphic artist is evident in her masterful use of color in large flat areas to create slightly abstracted compositions, reserving thoughtful detail for each woman’s face, hands and feet. Interestingly, Hopper never worked with live models. Instead, she says she “developed this archetypal person. She’s nobody in particular, except my vision of how I see the beautiful Hawaiian people.
