"Mata Moana" is a notable oil painting by the American artist Robert Henri, created during his visit to the Polynesian islands in 1920. Henri, a leading figure of the Ashcan School and an influential teacher, was known for his portraiture and for advocating the portrayal of everyday life. The title of the work, "Mata Moana," translates to "Eyes of the Sea," reflecting the artist's fascination with the culture and people of the South Seas, which he considered to be unspoiled by the industrialization of the Western world.

The painting depicts a young Polynesian girl, capturing her gaze and the essence of her cultural identity. Henri's use of vibrant colors and his loose, expressive brushwork are characteristic of his style and contribute to the life and immediacy of the portrait. "Mata Moana" is considered one of the significant works from Henri's Polynesian period, showcasing his ability to convey the human spirit and his appreciation for cultural diversity.

The painting is not only a testament to Henri's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document of the people and the era he encountered during his travels. "Mata Moana" has been exhibited in various galleries and has been studied for its cultural and artistic significance, contributing to the understanding of cross-cultural representation in early 20th-century American art. The work is emblematic of Henri's broader impact on American art, particularly through his teachings, which emphasized the importance of personal expression and the representation of contemporary life in art.
