Aloha...The Universal Word Artist: Eugene
Savage, Matson Lines Menu Cover, 1937
Matson
inspired generations of travelers who sailed between the U.S. West
Coast, Hawaii, and the South Pacific on Matson Lines cruise
ships more than 50 years ago. Today, Matson launches MatsonVintageArt.com, its new online store, to spark fresh
decorative inspiration for a modern generation with high-quality reproductions
of some of its most popular vintage travel art.
Drawing
from Matson's extensive archive, MatsonVintageArt.com offers more than 100
authentic images from Matson’s hotel and cruise ship era, the early 1920s to
the 1970s, carefully restored by our archivist. The selection features
exquisite works from Edward Steichen, John Kelly, Eugene Savage
and more. Included in the curated collection are vibrant advertisements, photographs,
illustrations, promotional travel art and menu cover artwork that captures the
glamour and allure of the golden age of Pacific travel.
Now, for
the first time, stunning reproductions are available for purchase
direct from the source in multiple sizes and printed on premium paper or
stretched ready-to-hang museum grade canvas. Gift cards are also available
online to celebrate any occasion.
“I love the
process of restoring Matson’s vintage art and bringing it back to life,” said
Matson’s archivist Lynn Blocker Krantz. “We look forward to sharing more
treasures from the archive at MatsonVintageArt.com soon.”
Matson
was instrumental in the development of tourism in Hawaii and the
South Pacific. Matson Lines cruise ships, including Lurline,
Matsonia, Monterey, and Mariposa, transported passengers
in style from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii and other exotic Pacific
ports of call. In Hawaii, luxury accommodations were provided both afloat
and ashore at Matson's hotels, The Royal Hawaiian, Moana Surfrider and Princess
Kaiulani.
