For which company did Georgia O'Keeffe paint tropical plants after a 1938 commission?

Georgia O'Keeffe painted tropical plants for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company after receiving a 1938 commission.

The company, now associated with the Dole brand, invited O'Keeffe to Hawaii to produce images for an advertising campaign. She traveled there in 1939 and spent about nine weeks visiting several islands and making studies of tropical plants, flowers, and landscapes.

Although the commission concerned pineapples, O'Keeffe created many paintings of other Hawaiian subjects. The resulting works include close views of flowers and plants, showing the same attention to organic shapes that appears in her New Mexico paintings.

The company ultimately rejected her first pineapple painting and asked for another. O'Keeffe painted a second pineapple, which satisfied the commission. The episode is notable because a commercial assignment became a substantial body of independent-looking modernist work.
