HPA’s Isaacs Art Center showcases 50 years of Madge Tennent’s work The Isaacs Art Center at Hawaii Preparatory Academy presents a major monographic exhibition, “Rhythm in the Round: The Modernism of Madge Tennent,” now running through Nov. 12. The exhibition showcases five decades of Tennent’s work. Tennent’s legacy “towers above the entire roster of painters ever to have worked in Hawaii in terms of originality and breadth of vision,” said David W. Forbes, author of “Encounters with Paradise.” “Rhythm in the Round” includes more than 40 works by one of the most pioneering and prolific artists to have worked in Hawaii, featuring prints and paintings created while the artist lived in Paris; Cape Town, South Africa; New Zealand; British Samoa; and Hawaii. Drawn largely from the Tennent Art Foundation Collection, entrusted to Hawaii Preparatory Academy in 2005, this survey explores Tennent’s trajectory from a young prodigy into a monumental legend in the annals of Hawaiian art. The Isaacs Art Center is located at 65-1268 Kawaihae Road, adjacent to the HPA Village Campus, in Waimea. The center is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, call 885- 5884 or visit isaacsartcenter.hpa.edu.
