An Introduction to New Zealand Painting 1839-1967

This book aims to introduce New Zealand painting through the work of representative artists active between 1839 and the present day, using the historical study as a background to contemporary work.

In addition to its main function of providing pleasant, rewarding and sometimes contraversial reading on a facinating subject, this book has very considerable lasting value through the scrupulous research of the authors, the lavish illustration, the wealth of bibliographical information and the thoroughness of the index.

. . . fills a long-felt need for a detailed survey of painting in New Zealand . . . the arrangement of the book is very good . . . the style is lively.
