ABOUT THE ARTIST AND MENU:

In 1938, Matson commissioned the American painter Eugene Savage to create six Hawai‘i-themed murals. Monumental in scale, designed to inspire, and no doubt intended for public display, these paintings had never been exhibited publicly untilArt Deco Hawai‘i,a landmark exhibition organized by the Honolulu Museum of Art in 2014. Instead, upon their completion, with the advent of World War II, the works were placed immediately into storage. After the Armistice, Matson used reproductions of the paintings as covers for the collectible menus on its Honolulu-bound liner, the S.S.Lurline, while the actual paintings remained hidden from view.

Eugene Francis Savage(March 29, 1883 – October 19, 1978) was an American painter and sculptor known for hismuralsin the manner made official under theWorks Projects Administration. He also is known for his work on the Bailey Fountain inGrand Army Plaza,Brooklyn, New Yorkand the \'Alma Mater\' mural featured in theSterling Memorial Libraryon the campus ofYale Universitylocated inNew Haven, CT.
