Yvonne Rust, QSM : maverick spirit
"Yvonne Rust, QSM grew up during the Depression years as the only white child in Te Hapua, in the far North. She graduated with a DipFA in 1946, and went on to reach art in schools. Art was then only just being introduced into the general curriculum as part of a new approach to education. Her capacity to inspire was unmatched, and many New Zealand 'creatives' owe her much. At the forefront of the pottery movement in the 1950's, she also battled consistently for the development of New Zealand's raw materials. She believed New Zealand had its own spirit and she sought relentlessly to express it."--Back cover
