Term 4 Week 1
Task1:
Write a biography of a New Zealand / Maori artist or craftsperson who is recognised as influential / significant in the history of New Zealand/Maori art. Find out when, what, who, where, how and why they are significant.
C.F Goldie: "photo-realist" known for his meticulous attention to detail. He would start his portraits by making a detailed charcoal sketch. He then shaded areas in, with a limited palette of light red, yellow ochre and white, mixing basic pigments to make his characteristic colours. He was to paint on a well-dried thick white-lead ground, which he covered with a scumble of raw-umber, applied with a round brush in a distinctive pattern - alternating obliquely directed brush-strokes. You can see this pattern showing through to the finishing stages of the work, which were without visible brushstrokes.
Dick Frizzell: he is best known for his iconoclastic cartoon-derived work. Dick Frizzell’s work has always been characterised by a highly skilled handling of paint and an endlessly inventive range of subject matter and styles: faux-naive New Zealand landscapes, figurative still-life, comic book characters and witty parodies of modernist abstraction. His taste is conveniently broad and he has a penchant for fondly remembered and well-worn clichés.
