New Zealand Modernists 1950’s-1970’s is a reminder of a bygone era, where the confines of what quintessential New Zealand Art was were not yet clearly established nor defined. Through including artists such as Ralph Hotere, Gordon Walters, Jean Horsley, Richard Killeen and Philip Clairmont, New Zealand Mod-
ernists shows us the divides, but also convergences between the dichotomies of black/white, the indigenous/the expatriate, the traditional/the contemporary, male/female and minimalist/expressionist often present in the works of this time.
