Exhibition of paintings by Albert Wendt

On exhibit in the Special Collections Reading Room in Hamilton Library on the UH-Manoa campus is a set of paintings by Samoan novelist, poet, and essayist Albert Wendt. One of Oceania’s single most important (and prolific) writers and scholars, Wendt is also an accomplished visual artist. Over the course of the last three years, during which time he served as Citizen’s Chair in the UH-Manoa Department of English, he has produced a substantial body of artwork. On display are ten of these paintings, including selections from the “Koolau” and “Pele” series, as well as other Hawaii-themed and Pacific-themed works.

The exhibit will be on display in the Special Collections reading room located on the fifth floor of UH-Manoa's Hamilton Library through the end of May, and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays (excluding holidays).
