Clairmont Painting

Acrylic on board 132.5 x 100

Signed, inscribed & dated 1985

10,000 - 15,000

The tragic suicide of Philip Clairmont in 1984 robbed Nigel Brown of a close friend and supporter. The controversial Clairmont series was his way of dealing with this bereavement.

Notable for its use of banner-like text, Brown’s striking Clairmont Painting formally references funerary iconography in its epitaphlike design. The imagery operates as a portrait of their friendship, expressing a series of shared iconographic references such as the black singlet, the heart and skull

Plate 56 Peter McIntyre’s West A H & A W Reed1970

Along the Pali coast of Kauai, the cliffs rise from the sea to a breathtaking 3,000 feet. To some minds Hawaii seems to have little place on the American West, but it has won that place in spirit if not in geography. It was for us our last glimpse of America on our way back to our own country, New Zealand

Charles McPhee 1910 - 2002 was one of the original velvet painters. He studied with the founder of this genre, American Edgar Leeteg 1904 -1954. In the early years after WWII, painting on velvet was cast as a unique new technique enabling the artist to render life forms in a tactile and extremely lifelike way. McPhee enjoyed immense success, he was always one year behind with his portrait schedule of commissioned works. His popularity was such that his exhibitions were always sell outs. McPhee died in Auckland in November 2002 at the age of 92.

A documentary titled Velvet Dreams was directed by award winning Samoan director Sima Urale in 1998. The narrator meets velvet artists and collectors in Seattle, Arthur Leeteg’s widow in Tahiti, art historians in Auckland and, finally the then 88 year-old velvet painter, adventurer and party boy, Charles McPhee.

THE DREAM

The Art of Early New Zealand Tourism

Selling the Dream is a 408-page, large-format, high-end production with close to 1000 images and 11 specially commissioned essays, published by Craig Potton Publishing. It is the first dedicated and extensive celebration of tourism posters and other publicity that helped promote New Zealand – both locally and to the world – until the 1960s, before television and colour photography changed the publicity landscape forever. The book will leave you in no doubt that the art of early tourism was highly significant in New Zealand’s art history, and in the development of New Zealand’s tourism industry and sense of national identity.

‘To see such a beautiful and painstaking catalogue is quite literally breathtaking. It makes me dizzy and a little bit inadequate just thinking about it, and I’m amazed we even had artists and designers of this calibre operating in New Zealand!’

‘You’ve sold me this particular dream alright. Ka kite ano Toss, Colin and Ralph; kia ora Marcus King and Leonard Mitchell! This book is one fantastic contribution to New Zealand art history.’

Mark Stocker, Associate Professor

Be prepared to reminisce, feel even better about this great country, and plan your next New Zealand adventure.

‘It is in the art of the poster that artists use their imagination and invention to unashamedly celebrate and reveal the uniqueness of the New Zealand scene.’
