Shane Cotton produced his first series of lithographic prints in 1998, and a second in 2004. This latter series was produced with the Australian Print Workshop in Melbourne and published by Gow Langsford Gallery.

Cotton delicately delineates images that have become synonymous with his work, including the controversial motif of “upoko tuhituhi” or “marked heads”‚ and his iconic birds. In Cotton’s depiction of these ancestors and in referencing their after-life and the heavens, his work can be seen as a way to keep their identity and memory alive.

It appears to be an archery target, or a pulsing GPS locator beacon. But when you get up close, the surface is softly weathered, as if the pressure of the world around it has worn it away slightly. You become aware of the small painted motifs within the concentric circles and suddenly, rather than looking like something that belongs to space, like the trajectory of an arrow or the flight plan of a plane, you see that the works might equally be concerned with time, that the bands of colour might be read as the rings of a tree or as a model of eternal return.

Heather Straka is one of New Zealand’s most conceptually minded mid-career painters.

Her work is in major public and private collections and she was the 2008 Frances Hodgkins Fellow and the 2011 William Hodges Fellow. Straka began taking art night classes while still in high school with her sights set on Elam to which she went to study sculpture. Her tutors there included Christine Hellyar and Greer Twiss. After graduating in 1994 she spent five years in France working as an artist assistant for Julia Morison before returning to New Zealand where she graduated from Ilam in 2000 with a Masters of Fine Art. It was during her time in France that, thanks to a paucity of sculptural materials and live exposure to René Magritte’s oeuvre, Straka was moved to paint. Her work since has functioned in a thoroughly surrealist logic, relishing the juxtaposition of unlikely subjects that create a culture clash and confuse our societal codes.

Her work strives to unsettle the viewer.

However unnerving her paintings can be and despite their initial shock they ring with a deep resonance that is more true to life than immediately recognisable.

Burqababes (2014) is a series of women in burqas that mostly cover their faces and torsos but reveal heavily tattooed bare skin.

It explores the complex and secret relationships we have with what we hide that underpins our interactions and connections.

The Asian (2010) looks at the predicament of a cloning culture with, among other things, a

24

D UN B AR S L O A NE

recurring tiki brooch foreignised by it’s placement on the cheongsam of a 1940s Shanghai girl. In an interview with the Canterbury Herald 1. Straka says that it has been common in the past to find plastic tiki made in China for sale in New Zealand.

These obvious comparisons of ‘real’ and ‘fake’ are blurred and impossible to distinguish when it comes to people face to face.

Straka’s groundbreaking exhibition Paradise Lost (2005) copied portraits by Lindauer and Goldie. Using her own highly finished trademark style of serene tonal control and adding elements such as horns, red tinged skin, tattoos, and halos, Straka appropriates specific cultural imagery. Paradise Lost deliberately comments on contemporary New Zealand society by way of acknowledging the different layers and lenses of our shared colonial past. Without asking for permission to ask, her works by their very existence demand an answer from us; who has the right to the imagery used in these paintings? Straka, Lindauer, or indeed in this very instance the subject of the painting, Tukukino Te Ahiātaewa?

Tukukino Te Ahiātaewa was a rangatira and land activist of Ngāti Tamaterā living in the 19C. He holds a tewhatewha with huia feathers, a weapon for a chief. His portrait was first done by Gottfried Lindauer in 1878. It was common at that time for Māori subjects of a high rank to commission Lindauer for a portrait. Yet Lindauer’s works

were exhibited in the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886. Acknowledging the then popular ideals of social Darwinism this gives his paintings an anthropological approach more akin at that time to taxidermy than art.

It is this cultural tension, between genuine admiration and debasing exoticism, that Straka’s paintings find their roots in.

A part of arguably the most compelling series of her career The Gatekeeper was a private commission made after the vendor saw Paradise Lost. The halo signifying sainthood and the heart the divine light of love, Straka modernises Te Ahiātaewa’s presence while also deepening our ability to connect with him.

The Gatekeeper revolutionises Lindauer’s narrative, elevating it from unsettling representations of a supposed dying race to a potential acknowledgment of a powerful, full hearted and dignified people.

There is no getting around the jarring effects of the cultural crossover, Straka herself saying ‘even though we try to understand another culture, there’s always a disconnect.’ 2.

E X HI B I TED Jonathan Smart Gallery, Christchurch ‘The Honeytrap’, 7-31 October 2015 'The Honeytrap paintings are direct, intimate and sensual - befitting the bare backs and cameo-like oval format of the paintings. The feel is restrained, almost Victorian, but Straka is in her element relishing her (painterly) powers of suggestion, and playing with what she presents and what she denies. We see only shoulders, the nape of a neck and carefully rendered hair. Bra straps and labels

bring contemporary cues to this visual field.

But only on occasion do we catch a jaw line or the glimpse of an eyelash.

Still, we read plenty into these works, from the confident poise of the dancer to the quietly lowered head of the dark-haired model alongside. We read subtle nuances of pose with aplomb - from the inclination of a cheek, to the drama of shoulder blades pulled taut or on the diagonal, rather than presented flat. We know what is assertive and what is demur, just as if we were the subjects.

The palette is typically Straka - rosebud or fleshpink through grey to her curiously sallow green - as are the controlled thin layers of oil paint. Here, all is care with no responsibility.

And everything is utterly beautiful.' 1.

Charles Frederick Goldie painted Te Kamaka, a rangatira of Ngāti Maniapoto, on five occasions between 1916 and 1921. The artist preferred to depict elderly Māori who still wore traditional tā moko and thus frequently reused the same models for multiple compositions. This painting is representative of the domestic scale works that Goldie increasingly produced during the 1910s, intended for middle class collectors. In contrast to his larger brush-textured canvases, these more intimate works were usually painted on wooden panels, with completely smooth surfaces. Such close-up, bust-length paintings allowed Goldie to showcase his skill – derived from his academic training – at

Writing on the 1918 exhibition of the Auckland Society of Arts, the reviewer for the New Zealand Herald observed: “Mr. Goldie’s work consists of small portraits, finished with his characteristic perfection of detail, and splendidly typical of the Maori, in whom he finds such constant inspiration.” (31 May 1918). Amongst the works on display was another painting of Te Kamaka titled “The Whitening Snows of Venerable Eld”: Kamaka An Chieftain of the Maniapoto Tribe (Aged 90 Years). The title of this work is taken from James Thompson’s allegorical poem The Castle of Indolence (1748). Goldie regularly titled his paintings with phrases borrowed from British poetry, further reinforcing the manner in which his paintings reflect Pākehā

depicting closely observed details, contrasting textures and the intricacies of wrinkled and tattooed skin.

sentiments. While this title emphasises Te Kamaka’s age, by calling the present work The Diplomatist Goldie instead focuses on his subject’s intellect and skill. Te Kamaka was involved with the Kīngitanga movement in the Waikato, thus it seems likely that intertribal and cross-cultural diplomacy formed part of his lived experience.

Unlike commissioned portraits, where the sitter pays to be depicted, Goldie paid his models. The traditional garb and adornments they wear were usually drawn from the artist’s own collection of Māori costumes and props, rather than being the personal possessions of his sitters. Both the intricate korowai (tasselled cloak) and pounamu hei tiki worn

by Te Kamaka appear in several of Goldie’s other paintings. In this work the Ngāti Maniapoto elder also wears a maka taringa, or sharks tooth earing. An element of theatre is apparent in the various personae that Goldie’s models perform. In many instances the paintings’ anecdotal titles and models’ melancholic demeaners served to reinforce the belief that Māori were a dying race, an inaccurate and problematic view held by many Pākehā during the early twentieth century.

The painting gains much of its visual impact by presenting Te Kamaka in profile against the patterned surface of a raupo whare.

During the late nineteenth century, many proponents of aestheticism esteemed the profile portrait for its decorative effect and emotional restraint. At the same time, with the expansion of European colonisation the format was frequently deployed as a tool of ethnography, used to document the physiognomies of different racial types.

In this painting, the downward tilt of Te Kamaka’s head imbues the elder with an introspective demeanour, according him the dignity of a thinking, feeling individual. The profile format also allows him a degree of privacy in his thoughts, avoiding the maudlin sentimentality found in some lesser paintings. Thus, what at first sight may appear to be straight-forward depiction, gradually reveals its complex interplay of cultural, aesthetic and emotional conventions and effects.

When Evening Shadows Fall is an intriguing early work by New Zealand’s most celebrated academic artist, Charles Frederick Goldie.

The amorphous sea and sky occupy two thirds of this intimate canvas. To the upper left, the evening sun sheds a final, flamelike burnish upon the expanse of cloud as it retreats from the encroaching expanse of violet. With a quirky symmetry, the form of the sandhills mirrors the brighter area of sky.

A grey-haired woman sits in deep contemplation, her head resting on her hand as she stares wistfully out to sea. When shown at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts in Wellington, the subtle colour harmony of Goldie’s painting led one reviewer to comment on its “misty-mystic atmosphere,”

There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes.

Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, 1812.

reflecting that its “strange soft tones” were perhaps intended to evoke “an appropriate allegorical colour-setting” (Evening Post, 18 September 1900). The suggestion of a spiritual state, transcending mere physical existence, is reinforced by the lines from Lord Byron selected by Goldie to accompany his painting:

depicting a stipulated subject. In both its small scale and free brushwork, When Evening Shadows Fall shares qualities with the esquisses Goldie produced in Paris. The calligraphic rendering of marram grass in the present work recalls his depiction of bulrushes in The Finding of Moses (1896, private collection).

This painting was produced during a pivotal transitional phase in Goldie’s career.

In mid-1898 the young artist had returned to Auckland following four and a half years of rigorous art studies at the Académie Julian in Paris, a conservative private art school popular with both French and foreign students. Here he had received a traditional art training under the eminent French academicians William Bouguereau and Gabriel Ferrier. Part of the school’s training involved the weekly production of esquisses, rapidly painted compositional sketches

Upon his return to New Zealand, Goldie was keen to capitalise upon the prestige associated with his European art studies. He furnished his studio in the Hobson’s Buildings with a range of exotic bric-à-brac in a manner that evoked the opulent studios of his Parisian masters. When Evening Shadows Fall features in a posed photograph of Goldie in his studio from 1900 (Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki). The painting is displayed beside a Japanese silk hanging and below art school studies of the Venus de Milo and a male life model; a bust of Dante Alighieri sits nearby. The photograph shows the ambitious young artist keen to demonstrate his cosmopolitan credentials, with the present painting contributing to the ambiance of fin-de-siècle aestheticism.

The other two paintings that Goldie submitted to the 1900 Wellington exhibition were decidely European in subject matter – depictions of Venice and an Arthurian maiden. By contrast, later that year the works he showed at the Auckland Society of Arts included Tamehana, from Life (1900, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki) and One of the Old School (1900, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū), examples of the portrait studies of Māori for which he achieved renown. It is difficult to establish the ethnicity of the woman depicted in When Evening Shadows Fall. She might have been conceived as a weather-beaten French peasant, but could equally be a Māori kuia, deep in thought on the New Zealand coast.

In its very ambiguity, this intimate and intriguing work encapsulates this key phase of Goldie’s development, as he sought to adapt his European art training to his local New Zealand context.

A true pioneer of modern art in New Zealand, Rita Angus’ works are among the nation's best-loved paintings - her beloved Cass (1936) is an icon of 20th-century New Zealand art. Cass was a watershed in Angus' own career and for New Zealand landscape painting of the 1930's. It signalled a break from academic traditions expounded at local art schools to a new crisp hard-edged Realism, revitalising the Regionalist tradition.

With her fellow Group contemporaries including Colin McCahon and Toss Woollaston, they set the foundations of which contemporary art in New Zealand is based.

Angus developed a personal conception of the New Zealand landscape, simplifying it back to its essential nature, while expressing her own distinctive experience of the region.

Her work is an expression of her commitment to her country and celebration of place. She was inspired by her environment, the places she lived, and the people she encountered as well as informed by a keen interest in anthropology, history, and Māori culture. She frequently travelled the New Zealand countryside and North Canterbury was a favoured location. A change of scenery meant new subjects and fresh inspiration as well as a chance to escape from the mundane routine of daily life.

Mt Stewart, Waiau, North Canterbury, completed c.1931-2 has been identified as Angus’ most significant pre-Cass landscape.

Completed five years prior, Mt Stewart is a complex work which anticipates the Cass series in its linear, rhythmic forms. It is a work of two halves, with contrasting view points and style. The top half of the work illustrates the Southern Alps in a naturalistic style with carefully modulated forms. In contrast the Waiau riverbed is depicted from a high viewpoint and employs a much bolder, more vigorous style. The valley and riverbed utilise strong diagonal lines and colour contrasts, while the river is a distinct form in itself, with its modern, bracing zig-zags of colour. Form is flattened and colour simplified with a clear pervading light so key to her oeuvre .

Exhibited in 1932 at The Group, Christchurch and also the Otago Art Society, the work received critical acclaim. A critic praised the ‘solidarity of form’ and ‘clear light’ in both her and her husband’s work shown in the 1932 Group show ‘Mrs Rita Cook and Mr Alfred Cook see New Zealand in a way that contrasts greatly with the work of those who concern themselves with finding a fragment of landscape of the popular “English” type, and who paint it in a manner suited to that type.” Whilst influential artist and teacher Robert N Field who described the work as ‘a splendid translation of truly New Zealand country’ in response to the Otago Art Society showing.

Angus sold little work during her lifetime, but this was partly by choice: even close friends sometimes found it difficult to persuade her to part with her work. When she died in 1970, her family deposited the contents of her studio, numbering more than 600 works, in the National Art Gallery (now Te Papa Tongarewa). Today, few of her works remain in private hands. Mt Stewart was formerly reported as one of Rita Angus' lost works, especially after experts involved in organising the National Art Gallery’s 1982-83 Retrospective Exhibition were unable to trace it. However in 1985 the work was discovered in England by former New Zealander art dealer Lance Crawford. It was subsequently auctioned in Auckland and purchased by the current owners in the same year.

Ninety years after it was painted Mt Stewart, Waiau, North Canterbury remains as vivid and captivating as the day it was painted, a true ‘mistresspiece’ of New Zealand art.

The houses in this old neighbourhood provided a constant source of imagery in her work for the remainder of her career.

Angus has simplified the houses into a series of planes, building up the composition and giving it depth. Their forms, however, remain clearly defined by her careful application of paint. Angus’ concern with simplifying forms into geometric planes shows the influence of the French artist Paul Cézanne (1839 -1906).

Corfe Castle is one of a group of gouaches painted during 1942 and 1943 inspired by Corfe Castle, Dorset where Hodgkins was based for most of the duration of the Second World War. Probably exhibited with other similarly titled works in an exhibition at Lefevre Galleries, London in March 1943. As was usual Hodgkins mined the area on her doorstep using any objects, buildings or forms which attracted her, altered and manipulated them to suit her particular vision and created a visual treat of shapes and colours with great verve and originality. The use of gouache encouraged a lighter palette with an abundant use of white in particular which helps to take the viewer into a dreamy, fantastic world. The presentation is in the English Neo Romantic vein reminiscent of the work of John Piper.

This approach became more intense during the war years – almost as a reaction to the resulting privations and strictures inflicted on her and her valued friends and family.

In this image Hodgkins uses motifs and objects such as the Castle itself and her studio in an approach which is both complex and mysterious though the results are superbly balanced. Some motifs and objects are at times only just discernible and never completely defined. There is a delicious ebb and flow of brushwork anchored in a stable composition which is balanced in terms of colour, form and shape from which Hodgkins weaves an organic unity. The dominant structure of the old barn is not permitted to do so because it is surrounded by a host of other equally interesting shapes and forms – Corfe Castle itself appearing in the background. The title of work teases the viewer into searching for it.

Corfe Castle is one of the gems from this period and demonstrates Hodgkins undiminished powers even in this last decade of her life. She retained the ability to surprise and delight - the eye is constantly active finding something new and intriguing to contemplate.

Mr Moffitt’s work has strength and vigour.

It;s breath [sic] and vitality may give a mental shock, at first, but the picture will slowly have its effect and give the viewer a pleasant experience. The Art Society has bought one of Mr Moffitt’s paintings which embraces a study of gladioli and still life, for the Civic Collection’ 1.

Sam Cairncross (1913-76) Sam Cairncross was twenty years old when he first began painting in his kitchen in Kilbirnie, Wellington. Born in 1913 in Sydney and moving five years later with his parents to Eastbourne he left school aged thirteen to take on a series of odd jobs. In 1943, while working as a hospital porter, he began art classes with Fred Ellis (1892 –1961) and in 1944 he had his first show at the French Maid Cafe in Wellington. In a 1946 solo show Cairncross’s work was noticed by the French Minister to New Zealand. The minister was impressed with the direct conversation Cairncross’s work engaged in with the French Post Impressionism and in 1947 he awarded Cairncross a Government scholarship to study in France. This, at a time when Paris was the mecca of modern painting, made Cairncross a figure of lively curiosity on the New Zealand art scene. After a bumpy start he took to Paris and his work was well reviewed as he struck a good rapport with the artists and critics around him. A letter home to his wife mentions his friendship with Georges Braque, ‘I met Braque the other day and spent the morning in his studio. He is a great painter. I took some of mine along to show him and he liked them very much.’ He became known as ‘the expressionist from the Pacific.’

Cairncross’s painterly style was always in open acknowledgement of Vincent van Gogh’s. Using vivid colours, impasto and energetic brush strokes this was a style Cairncross would continue to play with for the duration of his career. More than painting in an expressionist style however Cairncross cared that his paintings served his country.

On his return to New Zealand he wrote: ‘We have everything here a painter can need in the way of subject matter, and I want to try and do for this country what Van Gogh and Cézanne did for Provence and Paul Gauguin did for Oceania, and I hope I have brought back with me a little of the spirit that moved them to immortalise what they loved’.

Safe to say Cairncross achieved what he set out to. While his portraits and landscapes offer whimsical glances into the personal lives of mid-century New Zealanders, husbands and wives, fish and chips, beach days and country walks; his cityscapes offer a grandparent’s eye view of the Wellington that exists today. Taking on an archival significance his careful observations show vehicles of the mid twentieth century with the buildings of the nineteenth century. It is in these works that Cairncross makes his most significant mark combining New Zealand subject matter with imported European style.

Cairncross painted and exhibited the rest of his life making his own paints and canvases, framing his own paintings and organising exhibitions for himself around Wellington and New Zealand. He died in 1976 aged 62.
