This artist's work is spectacular. Having spent just a little time in New Zealand they did have a strong sense of the place as I found it.
I have not heard of this artist unfortunately. I'm from Australia and the women painters here working in the same time as Rita Angus have more or less been celebrated years/decades after they should have been.
This was such a treat to find this stormy old evening - thankyou!

These are realy stunning works of great power. They are a masterful display of sensitivity toward the emotional intensity of the sitter.
Robert Erwin was my Mother's cousin and the long time partner of Lawrence Baigent. He was a very good friend of Rita's. I would love to know where this artwork is. I know that he modelled for the "Maori Boy" painting.
