About

A+O is pleased to announce a catalogue which examines a key period in the development of New Zealand visual & applied arts and design culture. The flowering of modernist principles in the mid- 20th century was directly related to the pioneering role of émigré practitioners fleeing the onset of WW2. Modernism in New Zealand explores the relationship between European modernist concepts and New Zealand artists for whom these ideas and relationships were galvanizing across all fields of creative endeavour. The catalogue will include key works by Theo Schoon, Dennis Knight-Turner, Don Driver, Rex Fairburn, Bob Roukema, Frank Carpay, Ernst Shufflebotham, Roy Cowan, Juliet Peter, Garth Chester, John Weeks, John Drawbridge, Leo King, Geoffrey Fairburn, Ted Dutch, Robyn Stewart, Len Castle, Patricia Perrin and John Chricton. Furniture and design by Bob Roukema and John Crichton.
