New-Zealand
Many
newcomers and established international New Zealand artists such as Sir Toss Woollaston,
Gretchen Albrecht, Pat Hanly, and Ralph Hotere have their works displayed in art galleries
around the country.
Visual art is another increasing art form in New Zealand. Most visual artists here are involved
with matters concerning political causes or movements. 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.
