A Hawaii-related Volcano scene of the Fire Goddess, Pele surrounded by lava like Nymphs in a swirling dance.<\/p>\n
Dated 1921, this piece was done by the well known artist Bertha Lum. A very rare Hawaii scene, done when she was traveling to Asia and stopped in Hawaii.<\/p>\n
Although not from Hawaii, the British artist depicts the fire goddess, Pele attended by Nymphs, smiling in a dance with rising steam. It is possible that she saw the volcano and heard the story of Pele. She is known for her Art Nouveau style of fantastical figures. There is a print entitled spirit of the volcano done in 1933, but it has a very different look to it. This may have been an inspiration for the later work. This has much more detail and personalization of the figure. An excellent painting and rare work by the artist.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
