with the landscape.

Sir
Mountford Tosswill Woollaston (1910.
- A Regionalist artist - Taranaki - "acid greenfields"
Nelson - "circle of yellow hills"
- Concerns with rhythms and structure - colour and atmospheric
clarity.
- Distinctive luminous tonality of his early townscapes
of Greymouth
(on
view of Greymouth from the window - 1955)
- "Sage Tea" his biography |
| |
Bruce Hunt
- "Surf and cabbages" - 1998.
- Draws inspiration from the rugged stretches of the West
Coast (north) to the lonely expanses and deep shadows of Otago and
the McKenzie basin. The extreme effects of light are an ongoing preoccupation
in Hunt's landscapes. Reduces detail and refines each image so the
essence of mood and atmosphere , light and shade remain. |
