Synopsis

A four-part mini-series looking at New Zealand's landscape art from the arrival of Pākehā to the 1980s. It moves from the development of a local version of the European tradition (through artists such as John Gully and Petrus van der Velden), through to the homegrown modernism emerging through the 20th Century: the distinct hard-edged styles of Binney, White and Smither, the spiritual abstracts of McCahon and Woollaston, to the later impact of Māori artists, such as Hotere, Whiting and Kahukiwa.
