Presenter Hamish Keith examines the tyranny of distance in this episode from his award-winning 2007 series reappraising New Zealand visual art. For twentieth century Pākehā artists, the lure of Europe, Britain and America meant they either relocated permanently (like Frances Hodgkins) or returned home to incorporate or reject the styles they'd been exposed to internationally. For Māori artists, the struggle was closer to home; while the landmark Te Māori exhibition gave Māori taonga an international audience, younger artists were reclaiming traditional art forms for themselves.
