Abstract

In 1939 Georgia O’Keeffe traveled to the Territory of Hawai‘i to fulfill a commission for the advertising agency N. W. Ayer & Son. Her expenses were covered in exchange for two paintings to be used in advertisements for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now Dole Food Company), an enterprise entangled with the conquest of Hawai‘i. James Dole built his pineapple empire on the dispossession and oppression of Indigenous Hawaiians by U.S. missionaries, businessmen, and politicians. O’Keeffe’s experiences in and paintings of Hawai‘i were structured by colonialism, and Dole advertisements that feature her paintings served to justify and naturalize U.S. conquest. To understand O’Keeffe’s work as participating in the highly racialized project of colonialism is to disrupt dominant histories that, often unwittingly, contribute to the ongoing disenfranchisement of Indigenous peoples. Doing so is an important step toward “decolonizing” the history of American modernism.

乔治亚·奥基夫的夏威夷?
1939年,乔治亚·奥基夫前往夏威夷领土,为广告公司N.W.Ayer&Son履行委托。她的费用被用来换取夏威夷菠萝公司(现在的多尔食品公司)的两幅画作广告,这是一家与征服夏威夷有关的企业。詹姆斯·多尔建立了他的菠萝帝国,建立在美国传教士、商人和政治家对夏威夷原住民的剥夺和压迫之上。奥在夏威夷的经历和绘画是由殖民主义构成的,多尔的广告以她的绘画为特色,为美国的征服辩护和归化。将奥基夫的作品理解为参与高度种族化的殖民主义项目,是在破坏主导历史,而这些历史往往在不知不觉中导致土著人民被剥夺选举权。这样做是迈向美国现代主义历史“非殖民化”的重要一步。

期刊介绍: American Art is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring all aspects of the nation"s visual heritage from colonial to contemporary times. Through a broad interdisciplinary approach, American Art provides an understanding not only of specific artists and art objects, but also of the cultural factors that have shaped American art over three centuries of national experience. The fine arts are the journal"s primary focus, but its scope encompasses all aspects of the nation"s visual culture, including popular culture, public art, film, electronic multimedia, and decorative arts and crafts. American Art embraces all methods of investigation to explore America·s rich and diverse artistic legacy, from traditional formalism to analyses of social context.
