Description: "This is a painting of me by me. It is inserted here at the outset in case you have assumed this is going to be an art history book about a desperate struggle for recognition in a garrett. I want you to know it is nothing of the sort. It is a light-hearted narrative in the same way the above portrait is light-hearted, warts and al. And it covers a lot of other subjects.

Description: "From the 1870s to the early twentieth century, the Bohemian immigrant artist Gottfried Lindauer travelled to marae and rural towns around New Zealand and - commissioned by Maori and Pakeha - captured in paint the images of key MΓori figures. The book presents 67 major portraits and 8 genre paintings alongside detailed accounts of the subject and work, followed by essays by leading scholars that take us inside Lindauer and his world: from his artistic training in Bohemia to his travels around New Zealand as Maori and Pakeha commissioned him to paint portraits; his artistic techniques and deep relationship with photography; Henry Partridge's gallery of Lindauer works on Queen Street in Auckland where Maori visited to see their ancestors; and the afterlife of the paintings in marae and memory"--Publisher information.

Description: "The first monograph of the New Zealand painter Peter Ireland - this book surveys his practice, on the theme of Captain Cook's voyages to the Pacific. Coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the first sustained European contact with Aotearoa New Zealand, this book features 69 works from, mostly, Ireland's ongoing James Cook series and the associated Waitangi Wallpaper series, supported by a number of related works from his Curator, Panorama and continuing Sampler series. These series represent about one-third of his total art practice. Together, the images constitute a continuing conversation between historical characters and the events in which they figured, interweaving our national history with European painting traditions."--Rim Books website (accessed 9/04/2019).
