Contemporary painting in New Zealand
"This overview of contemporary developments in New Zealand painting focuses on art of the 1990s and provides a valuable complement to the author's earlier publication A Concise History of New Zealand Painting . The book explores the different perspectives that have formed the current directions in New Zealand painting, including neo-expressionism, recent forms of abstraction and colour painting, the new figuration and the bi-cultural contribution of contemporary Maori painting. The study provides an introductory overview of the contemporary art scene in New Zealand and follows it with profiles of both established painters and younger artists who are now making their mark in different ways. The book makes particular mention of the work of Maori painters who address important social issues in their art"--Publisher's description
