New-Zealand
Works of Maori women such as
Robyn Kahukiwa, Kura Te Waru Rewiri, and Shona Rapira Davies illustrate a concern for the
land, whanau (family), antiracism and antisexism, and reflect the revival of Maori pride and
values.
The greatest expatriate artist of New Zealand was Len Lye (1901-80) who won an
international reputation as a pioneer of direct film techniques (scratching images directly on to
celluloid) and kinetic sculptor. His works can be viewed at the Govett-Brewster Gallery in
New Plymouth, which specializes in the works of New Zealand sculptors.
Prose and Poetry
Novelist Janet Frame realized her love for writing ever since she was a mere child growing up
in a poor South Island family. Born in 1924, Frame has published over 20 novels, four
collections of stories, poetry and children's books, and three volumes of autobiography - To
the Island, An Angel at My Table, and The Envoy From Mirror City.
