Second printing. A clean copy in jacket. Publisher's description: From the 1870s to the early twentieth century, the Bohemian immigrant artist Gottfried Lindauer travelled to rural towns around New Zealand and - commissioned by Maori and Pakeh- captured in paint the images of key Maori figures. For Maori then and now, the faces of tipuna are full of mana and life. Now this definitive work collects those portraits for New Zealanders. The book presents 67 major portraits and 8 genre paintings alongside detailed accounts of the subject and work, with essays by leading scholars that takes us inside Lindauer and his world: from his artistic training in Bohemia to his travels around New Zealand as Maori and Pakeh commissioned him to paint portraits; his artistic techniques and deep relationship with photography; Henry Partridge's gallery on Auckland's Queen Street where Maori visited to see their ancestors; and the afterlife of the paintings in marae and memory. Co-produced with the Auckland Art Gallery to tie in with a major internationally-touring exhibition of Lindauer's Maori portraits. These images are important not only as artwork but as living taonga. The essays discuss the lives of Lindauer's subjects, not just the paintings themselves.
