Hotere Art works

On Hotere's This is a Black Union Jack – nb: relates to a range of contexts: Flags & national identity, Sports, Racism, Protest Art, Minimalism & Hotere's reversal by imbuing his with political content, Pop Art's issues of image consumption – Jasper Johns' deliberate emptying of meaning from the US flag vs Hotere's deliberate use of political content & commentary on national identity. It would pay to have a basic understanding of Minimalism (Focus on material and medium, black & white palette or focused colour range, emphasis on line).
