Description

Hinehauone Coralie Cameron (1904-1993) -- known as Corrie Cameron -- grew up on a sheep farm in the Wairarapa. She trained as an artist in Wellington, London and Paris, and went on to create images of farmhands, horticultural workers, and landscapes which resonated with spirit of place. Corrie Cameron has been one of the least recognised printmakers of the 1930s, yet her work adds another dimension to New Zealand art: a vision of rural life and landscape often in stark contrast to the colourful, celebratory paintings created during this era. Her images of Maori had an unusual contemporaneity, and trips to the Pacific led to further striking and appealing prints. Corrie rarely exhibited again after the 1930s, but her work is as powerful today as when it was created. This book brings it the attention it richly deserves.
