I recently got a book on the history of Tahiti and the cover art was the painting "Tahiti Revisited" by William Hodges.
A search on this board has zero hits for him so here's a link to some of his art that has high resolution images.

In particular tiki statues are in "Tahiti Revisited" painted in 1776 and "A View of the Monuments of Easter Island" painted 1775
