Peer review

For more than 50 years, Herb Kawainui Kane, AM’53, has been painting scenes from Hawaiian history. Deemed a “living treasure” of the state, he has helped revive interest in Hawaii’s past and present culture. In an online retrospective of his work, Kane posts a painting of the week at herbkane.wordpress.com. The exhibit includes the painting above, The Battle (1975), used in a 2009 documentary told through Kane’s art, Voyagers: The First Hawaiians. For more, see "Treasure trove."
