1. Retro Hawaii

Hawaiian Days Collection™ of Vintage Prints (DeLuxe Quality)

The Hawaiian nostalgia images in this DeLuxe portfolio are based on the proportions of a 20"x28" poster. Contrasting favorably with our economy line of vintage Hawaiian posters these babies are printed using the highest quality watercolor art paper and canvas via archival Giclée technology, and can be ordered in several ready-to-hang finishes. Make sure to select "No Cropping" during checkout, or allow for minimal cropping to fit your chosen format, or if you're going to have your image matted anyway. Keep in mind that the originals these impressions were taken from are antiques, made and printed with methods and machinery vastly inferior by today's standards, but which nowadays adds to their nostalgic charm. Today, we employ the latest in technology and materials to manufacture your print. Be sure to explore the many options regarding sizes and finish, such as mounted on metal, or printed on canvas. Enjoy your trip through the days of Hawaii before jet-travel!

    032: Hawaiian Hula Dancer by Gill from ca. 1940's. Gill captured the grace and beauty of the Hawaiian wahine. Today Gill’s work is regarded the most recognizable of the period.
    033: Gill airbrush painting of 'Bathing Beauties,' from the Forties. The art of Hawaiiana artist Gill reflects a time period during WWII when artist materials became of lesser quality and consequently few originals have been preserved. Gill was able to convey a sense of elegance and femininity of the Hawaiian lady with his stylized renditions.

    034: Hula Dancer by Gill from the 1940's. The art of the never fully identified artist Gill reflects a time period of Hawaiiana during which several artists began employing a method of airbrushed stenciling. Through layering complex textures Gill was able to capture the grace and beauty of the Hawaiian wahine. This early airbrush painting helped establish the artist Gill (also known as the artist Gil, or Eric Gill) as a prominent Hawaiian airbrush artist.
