Back and Beyond : New Zealand Painting for the Young and Curious
O’Brien, Gregory
Notes
This book features art by contemporary painters and printmakers, highlighting the beauty of both classic and contemporary Maori Art, and placing the works of today alongside works published in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kiwi, rugby players, angels and aunts, insects, saws, moa and mountains, the bush and beaches all play starring roles in this birds-eye view of New Zealand painting. It is alive with real and imagined encounters, mysteries, discoveries, and with many of the paintings that have, over the past hundred years, broadened the horizons of all citizens, young and old, of our shaky island nation. This is a follow-up to the prize-winning ‘Welcome to the South Seas : Contemporary New Zealand Art for Young People’ with more than 40 full-colour plates and historical depth, it is guaranteed to dazzle and entrance. Also included is an activities section which will delight youngsters and guide teachers and parents into developing young peoples’ appreciation of art.Contents
