Which Hawaiian company commissioned Georgia O'Keeffe to paint plants in 1939?

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company commissioned Georgia O'Keeffe to paint plants in 1939.

The Hawaiian Pineapple Company invited O'Keeffe to Hawaii in 1939 to create images for an advertising campaign. She spent about nine weeks on the islands, observing and painting tropical plants, flowers, fruit, and landscapes. The commission was connected to the company's pineapple business, but O'Keeffe's paintings included many subjects beyond the pineapple itself.

The company later became part of the Dole Food Company, which explains why some accounts use the name Dole when discussing the commission. The historically accurate name at the time of O'Keeffe's trip was Hawaiian Pineapple Company.

The assignment produced a distinct group of Hawaiian works and expanded O'Keeffe's subjects beyond the desert and architecture she had explored in New Mexico and New York. She returned to the mainland in 1939, and the Hawaii paintings became part of her broader body of work.
