Web description (withdrawn March 2021):
“For Madge Tennent’s women, no repose is without movement, no movement without repose. Singing, dancing, or merely existing are at once invigorating and refreshing. The subjects seem at ease with themselves and their passions. Some secret, perhaps experience, renders them unafraid.
“Hawaiian beauty, as Madge Tennent teaches us, is the combination of imposing mass with grace, of power with finesse, of form with flow.”
- John Charlot
