Which company sponsored Georgia O'Keeffe's 1939 trip to Hawaii?

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company sponsored Georgia O'Keeffe's 1939 trip to Hawaii.

The company invited O'Keeffe to travel to Hawaii and create images for an advertising campaign. She spent about nine weeks on the islands, visiting locations on Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and Hawaii. The commission introduced her to tropical plants, waterfalls, cliffs, and coastal landscapes.

Although the company wanted pineapple imagery, O'Keeffe initially found the fruit less visually compelling than other subjects. She eventually painted a pineapple after the company sent one to her New York studio. Her Hawaii paintings included flowers and plants as well as broader landscapes.

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company later became part of the business history associated with Dole. That later corporate connection can cause confusion, but the sponsor named in accounts of O'Keeffe's trip was the Hawaiian Pineapple Company.
