Entries in pegge hopper (1)

la dolce vita

despite being two weeks tardy, i hope your 2009 is off to a good start and that the new(ish) year brings many happy moments your way!

my fella and i snuck away for a last minute trip back to the islands to visit 'ohana and friends and one of my favorite finds were these fabulous prints from oahu artist pegge hopper (better known for her contemplative portraits of island women). tucked away in the upstairs loft of her chinatown gallery, the la rinescente series is a delightfully retro look at the artist's mid-century stint in the ad department of an italian department store.

being the girl behind this blog, my favorite is scuola's bespectacled brunette, but i love the bright pops of color and vibrant simplicity of all the graphics found throughout the series.

covet one to call your own? open edition prints ($250 to $500) can be purchased at the gallery or online.
