‘Twisted flax pods inspired by the flax seedpods that grow around my home at Karekare. I have made paired flax pods with changing emphasis on 17 different occassions. I find the process of reworking a piece can lead in unexpected directions, It requires feeling around inside one’s self for the solution, for the image that satisfies and expresses half-understood feelings. At first, as with Twisted Flax Pods #6 #7, from 2003, the pods were twins, individuals lying together in a harmonious relationship, like a pair resting after some strenuous encounter – peaceful, spent. Over the following years I have frequently focused on seedpods as a metaphor for fertility, symbolising the promise of an abundant future. This sentimentality for the natureal world is perhaps a longing for an old connection to a fecund world, a world of spirit and place that we have lost today. Lately, balance and counterbalance have become an increasing focus.’ Ann Robinson p. 35

No. 8 to reverse 90 x 90cm $40,000 - $60,000 P RO VENANCE purchased by the current owner from Peter McLeavey Gallery, Wellington Private collection, Hawkes Bay Motorway/City was produced as part of a series of paintings heralded as one of the most sustained creative efforts in New Zealand art. Robert Ellis first came to New Zealand in 1957 as a Senior Lecturer at Elam, where he was later appointed Head of Painting and awarded a personal chair of Fine Arts. It was Peter Smith, art educationalist, who commented that “in the New Zealand climate of weekend painters” the arrival of a painter with a manifestly professional approach to painting was of enormous value to New Zealand. Ellis is recognised as one of the few artists to represent New Zealand cities in confronting ways. He painted cityscapes when we had only just begun to think of ourself as an urban country. Ellis has described painting as “largely an intuitive subjective process, based on personally acquired and assimilated experiences, nurtured and shaped by the sensual, emotional and intellectual aspects of one’s being.” Perhaps it was his particular experience as an English expat, arriving in New Zealand in time to watch it transform, as much as it could muster, into a replica of where he had come from, that gave him the nerve to portray the cities in a daring rather than revering way. It was after purchasing his first car that Ellis became fascinated with how the roads of New Zealand both blocked and freed movement throughout the land. The Motorways series grew from pen and watercolour studies of Spanish towns surrounded by hills with rivers winding through them. His paintings do not consciously depict a particular city but are a
34
D UN B AR S L O A NE
synthesis of cityscapes focusing on the urban landscape and interpreting it in highly stylised and abstracted way. As Rothko and Hotere did, Ellis grasps at colours for their symbolic power, using black and red to function in terms of emotion and association rather than representation. In this case the cracks in the burnt earth revealing red underneath could be looked at as a representation of a kind of hell or perhaps it is red for warning. We can feel Ellis’ concern for preserving what remains untouched and unreachable in the distant hills; space for living, breathing, seeing and being seen. The sky sits across the top of the painting like a feeling of ease in your forehead. A gap for light to float in the breeze. Beneath the bar of sky there are mountains. They lie in union with the clouds and sky, the peace is theirs alone. We can only see them from across the heart attack of roads. Critics applauded Ellis' technical handling of smearing, layering, cutting and applying oil paint straight from the tube all the while delivering a clarified vision of these roads. As delicate as lines in a frowning face they convey waves of conflicting emotion. Intensity and speed has become stagnant. In a search for shortcuts this city has short circuited itself. Having spent his compulsory military years training in the RAF aerial survey division it is not surprising to see that his landscapes are viewed as if from above. Mixing accurate observational drawing with his own improvisational flair Motorway/City contrasts early European art, which was largely topographical in focus and intent on
measuring and recording land. When not concerned with measuring, English painters traditionally portrayed New Zealand as a quaint wilderness, perfectly picturesque, if not for their unpopulated hills and skies, then for their dozy towns with thin columns of chimney smoke and quiet roads. They had strong overtones of isolation showing remote landscapes which you could vanish in or hamlets which required constant work to remain a viable place of survival. In either case these depictions showed NZ as being far away from the main centres of western civilisation. Motorway/City instead shows a clump of intensely populated roads and buildings, which when seen from such a distance could almost be empty and derelict. Ellis himself said of his works that they could be open to interpretation “in different ways depending on the ‘cultural equipment’ of the viewer”. His later works acquired words and symbols connected to his wife’s, Elizabeth Aroha Ellis, iwi. His continual gravitation towards and connection to Māoritanga in his later works add a deeper richness to the interpretations we can make of the Motorway series. In this painting in particular you can see the beginnings of an undertaking exploring what it means to be a tauiwi or Pākehā New Zealander, standing between land and sky. Maeve Hughes

Philip Trusttum (b 1940) Backyard with Trees and Houses oil on board signed with initials and dated ‘PST 74’ (lower left); inscribed with title 122 x 90cm $18,000 - $36,000 Provenance purchased directly from the artist’s studio, Berry Street, St Albans, Christchurch Sale, Dunbar Sloane Ltd, Wellington, 27 November 1994 (lot 62) Front Cover Illustration (catalogued as ‘Red Berries’) Private Estate, Wellington Philip Trusttum has a robust and healthy history of nearly seven decades of painting to his name. There is a vibrancy inherent in his works made accessible to any viewer by their brightness and contrast of colour. Trusttum first began painting in 1955 when he was fifteen years old. He worked in the packing rooms of the Hays Department Store and took home the wooden packing cases as canvases. In 1961 Trusttum enrolled at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts where he was taught by the pioneering Rudolf Gopas. Trusttum was shy of Gopas so would paint at home until he had thirty odd works finished before bringing them into the studio for critique. Gopas, a refugee from Lithuania, is credited as a key catalyst of expressionism emerging in New Zealand in the last third of the 20th century. While Gopas’ own work creates claustrophobic worlds swarming with emotion it was his astute teaching of artists such as Philip Clairmont, Tony Fomison and, the man of the hour: Philip Trusttum that has been credited as essential to the emergence and acceptance of expressionist art in New Zealand. It was Gopas who alerted Trusttum to his own uncanny and inimitable intuition for colour. Trusttum has always had a penchant for thick, brightly coloured paint. Gopas also set the young Trusttum onto the scent of artists such as Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso and Max Beckmann, all of whom had a lasting influence on Trusttum’s painting.
Trusttum has always been open to the many and varied influences available to him as a painter. His approach to painting never loses a curiosity to push the boundaries of what he can show and how he can show it. Since his art school days Trusttum has included house paint, PVA, sand, dung and coal dust amongst his standard art materials. In 2011 he estimated himself to have done at least four thousand drawings, exemplifying the free and easy approach he takes to art making. Trusttum has said: ‘you find something you like and you paint it’ epitomising the simple truth that art can be a labour of love. As well as the influences given to him by Gopas, Trusttum has readily absorbed the guidance of art and artists from all parts of the world. Medieval manuscripts, Australian Aboriginal art, African patterning are just some of the influences he adopts. These are abundantly clear to see in Backyard with Trees and Houses. The patterns and colour combinations serve to provide a decorative surface that breaks up and ultimately reveals form. This work in particular also carries the influence of Matisse’s red rooms. With no clear horizon line we feel that we have been given the viewpoint of any aspect of the garden. We could just as easily be a child running through the tall grass, a bee in the wind, or even another flower observing its surroundings. There is a musicality and a humming to the leaves as they rustle together with an alacrity of depth. The thick application of paint brings a frivolity to the colour, it's very layering creates movement
in the light that catches on it. The corners of the house and chimney in the distance act less as symbols of home and instead as sensations of colour, adding to the richness of the garden's beauty. In (Interior/Exterior) Garden Series you can more clearly see the strains of a van Gogh influence shining through. Though form is still loose and flows with broad sweeps of colour, the objects are more contained within themselves and create a busy world to be in. From inside this room we can see a larger room outside, the room of the world. The world doesn’t feel open and airy but rather full and brimming, the air itself clustered with colour. There is a slight quickening of intensity of movement outside, indicating there is some peace to be found indoors. The interior flowers bring the outer world in, while the thin panes on the window do more to highlight and bring indoors the outside. Amongst all this clamour and Joie de vivre the smooth panels of the dresser and the floor provide a calming feeling, like coming indoors after a day in the wind and sun. Trusttum’s trusty gardens series started in the mid 1970s and made his reputation as a painter. To this day his garden paintings remain among the most sought-after of his works. Trusttum has observed that he has been able to ‘Live like a peasant and think like a king’ these paintings personify that sentiment, finding richness in ever the present exquisiteness of one’s own garden.

“I never met her, but in my imagination she looms large, for she represents something important. Like Robin Hyde and Eileen Duggan she was greatly gifted. She tried to make a go of it here. She tried so hard. During a fairly short creative life she produced a number of images which, to me, give her immortality. They have a power, strength and vigour which mark them as icons of her time, of our land in the 1930s and 1940s. People will look at them in 200 years time and will know (as when they read Mason and Fairburn) what it was like here, then.” – Peter McLeavey on Adele Younghusband, Wellington, 1983.
Adele Younghusband stands a brave and bold figure in New Zealand art history and, as is the wont of all great artists, the shadow she casts has only grown larger the longer she has been gone. A divorcee with bobbed hair (and the first woman in Northland to single it!) Younghusband was a quiet but determined mover and shaker of modernism in New Zealand in the early to mid 20th century. Her style evolved enormously throughout her career which spanned fifty years and ended with her death, on her 91st birthday, 3rd April 1969. Fearless to try new things, Younghusband built a complex body of work dabbling in styles ranging from realism, to cubism, to symbolist surrealism. Her subject matter also evolved greatly; beginning with landscapes and flower studies then branching out to angels around the earth, Māori wāhine and mythology and surrealist dreamscapes. 48

Though her aunt, Fanny Osborne, was a well known painter of New Zealand flora and despite her talents being recognised early on, Adele found no familial encouragement to pursue a career in art. Her parents reluctantly afforded her an apprenticeship in photography, putting hers in good stead to be breadwinner for herself and her three children later on in life. While working as a successful portrait photographer in 1921 Younghusband helped to set up the Whangarei Art and Literary Society and subsequently became the secretary. Already a member of the Auckland Society of Arts, Younghusband went on to convene the inaugural meeting of the Waikato Society of Arts, as well as founding the Phoenix Group and the Studio Art Group. It seems that founding societies was a hobby of Younghusband’s or perhaps she simply had a yearning to be in communion with people as similarly concerned with the arts as she was. Although always bringing an artist's perspective to her photography and consistently keeping up a drawing and painting practise on the side, it wasn’t until she reached her forties that Younghusband made a commitment to painting. This commitment was strengthened yet again by a move to Australia where she exhibited in Sydney and studied under George Bell in Melbourne. It was in 1937 that Younghusband’s interest in abstract art took the reins and galloped her out of the frames of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. She said of her initial encounter with abstraction: “it took me a good three months to discover what it was faintly about. Then I began to see my way and a whole world was unfolded”. Once she had been turned onto it surrealism lit her up and became an ongoing source of fascination to her practise. After returning to New Zealand she was eager to teach it but found New Zealanders ‘too sane to accept it’. Though teasing the edges of it she never fully ventured into pure painterly abstraction. Allowing landscapes, portraiture, still lifes and mythological figures to flow through. Her long term associate and artist, Arthur Hipwell wrote in 1941 of her works: “Abstractions revert to objective details assembled in strange sequences and startling juxtapositions. Objects become symbols
telling a story, conveying a mood or expounding a philosophy…” creating a “search for subjective reality as opposed to objective realism.” Nowhere is this subjective reality more apparent than in The Scientist (lot 28). A meeting of a goat’s skull, a frog, a saw and a man with a white goatee. While the saw, the skull and the man are all translucent in places, the frog sits opaquely in the foreground. Peering up and looking deeply into the man's eyes, the intensity of his stare is enough to make us wonder which, in this topsy turvy world, is the scientist? The longer you look at this scene the less likely it seems to suddenly make an objective kind of sense and yet, the longer you look at it still the more subjective sense gradually trickles from it. In Magnolia (lot 27) and Abstract with Shells and Coral (lot 29), Younghusband has found the consistent truth present in the shapes of all living things. The yonic forms of shell and coral interprets an intensely feminine experience of nature. The curve and rise of the abstract forms take on an almost psychedelic sway in their willingness to become something, or someone, else. In Magnolia the flowers are clearly represented for what they are. The black vase that holds them stands out like a missing chess piece and shines oddly against the matt background. It floats miraculously tethered to the table. The folds of curtains behind it are shaded with such depth they take on a feeling of aliveness, reminiscent of Magritte’s lovers kissing through the cloth. Adele Younghusband was a spearhead of interwar New Zealand artmaking. Born amid the ‘morass of victorianism’ (1) she lived her life in bloom. An exhibition of her work in 1941 attracted a record gathering for an artist at that time. Unafraid to try whatever medium or meaning that took her interest, she produced a compelling visual legacy offering a unique insight into New Zealand identity. Maeve Hughes 1.

Born in Gore in 1936, Trevor Moffitt is arguably one of New Zealand’s most notable narrative painters & respected regional artists. During the 1950s he attended the University of Canterbury School of Fine Art, despite his father’s opposition. Here he was taught by noted Canterbury artists including W A. Sutton and Russell Clark who, searched for a particularly New Zealand style. Moffitt’s interest has always been with the places and stories unique to this country, a celebration of ordinary working New Zealanders and folklore. In 1962 he began his first major series, Gold Miners, based on his early childhood experience of miners in Waikaia, a gold mining town in Southland, where he spent his early childhood. The series was a deliberate attempt to place a figure in the New Zealand landscape…

‘…little or nothing had been down [in this genre] and if there were figures and landscape painting back at the turn of the century they tended to be microscopic sort of figures whereas I tried [a] balance between the landscape and the person [of] about 50:50’ 1. Drawing on his family stories from his grandfather’s experience in the goldfields, he depicted the everyday realities of daily life – the human spectrum. The works were painted in a bold, direct expressionistic style employing a muted colour palette. Simplicity was key and he used his trademark technique of thickly applied impasto paint and solid tonally modelled forms to convey the messages in his paintings.
‘Most people truly thought the Gold Miners were a joke. They had no eyes. “Why is he painted with no eyes?” “simple – the lust for gold blinds you.” 2. While individual works were sold, the series was not show as a whole until late 1965. Miners were exhibited at The Group Show in November 1963. 1. Our People, Our Century screened TV One, 2000 2.

Hawai’ian history from the arrival of Captain James Cook with his exchange rates and his sailor’s diseases, to the annexation of Hawaii by US businessmen, provides rich imagery for the vessels in this exhibition. This includes the influence of the Freemasons, the power of

the U.S dollar, the promotion of Hawai’i as a tourist destination, the proliferation of white stretch limos, and photographs celebrating the ‘melting pot’ of races. This series was inspired during and following a month long residency at the University of Manoa, Hawai’i in 2002. The traditional Hawai’ian bowl, the Poi vessel, used for food and religious ceremony, provided the inspiration for the form. 371 Raewyn Atkinson (b 1955) Landform red earthenware clay slip signed to paper label affixed to base 41cm height, 49cm width $1,800 - $3,000
