HoMA Selects
There’s always more to art than meets the eye. HoMA Selects is a way to share stories, fun facts, and behind-the-scenes insight about HoMA’s permanent collection, with museum curators and staff highlighting a different work every two weeks.
HoMA Selects is designed to offer new perspectives on HoMA works—some that may be familiar, and others that may be entirely new to you. Follow along with us as we explore and celebrate the museum’s collection of world-class art, right here in Honolulu.
The Torchlight Fishermen, Waikiki by Lionel Walden
The current HoMA Select reminds us of nostalgic moments on the island we call home. Director of Learning & Engagement Aaron Padilla helps us to consider the details that make Lionel Walden’s seascape feel like a memory.
Find The Torchlight Fisherman, Waikiki on view in the Arts of Hawai‘i Gallery.
Stay tuned to upcoming HoMA Selects for more stories and insights about works in HoMA’s permanent collection.
