This menu cover by John Kelly portrays a Hawaiian lei maker in mid-creation, holding an in-progress pink floral lei, while surrounded by blossoms that hint at the ritual and craftsmanship of lei making. Kelly’s palette favors warm hues and soft contrasts, lending the piece a gentle luminosity. Commissioned for Matson Lines, this illustration functioned as promotional art as it offered travelers an idealized vision of Hawaii as a realm of beauty, cultural ritual, and welcoming gesture. Through works like this, Matson cultivated an aesthetic identity that linked the islands to images of artisanship and floral ceremony, reinforcing the emotional appeal of its voyages.
