Conclusion

One of the more interesting aspects of the consolidated body of work of these artists is their treatment of light and color.  They have all been very clearly influenced by the great Impressionists, but the vibrant colors and pearly quality of the light depicted are unique to the islands, and definitive of this collection.  While it is easy to make the thematic connections between all of these works, the techniques employed by their creators yield greatly differing products, and certainly influenced by the artist’s own background and viewpoints.  While looking at these works on the whole the likenesses are apparent, but the subtleties are much more difficult to quantify.
