For which company did Georgia O'Keeffe paint 20 works during a 1939 trip to Hawaii?

Georgia O'Keeffe painted 20 works during a 1939 Hawaii trip commissioned by the Hawaiian Pineapple Company.

The company invited O'Keeffe to Hawaii to create images that could be used in an advertising campaign. She traveled there in 1939 and painted plants, flowers, and landscapes on the islands. Although the commission was commercial, the resulting works retained her close attention to organic forms and unusual details.

O'Keeffe initially struggled to find a pineapple that she considered suitable for painting. After the company sent one to her hotel room, she painted it, producing a work associated with the commission. Her Hawaii paintings included subjects such as papaya, ginger, and other tropical plants.

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company later became part of the history of the Dole brand, but the company name at the time of O'Keeffe's commission was Hawaiian Pineapple Company. This distinction prevents the common error of naming Dole as the original commissioner.
