Which Hawaiian company commissioned Georgia O'Keeffe to make paintings in 1939?

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company commissioned Georgia O'Keeffe to make paintings in 1939.

The company invited O'Keeffe to Hawaii for an advertising project connected with pineapple production. During her visit, she painted tropical plants, flowers, landscapes, and other subjects from the islands.

The commission included a request for a pineapple image. O'Keeffe initially found the fruit difficult to obtain for painting, but the company eventually supplied one. Her Hawaiian works show that her interest in plants extended beyond the flowers and desert forms most commonly associated with her.

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company later became part of the Dole Food Company. That later corporate identity can cause confusion, but the 1939 commission was made by the company under its earlier name.
