Haere Ra Ralph A deep sense of sadness at the recent death of Ralph Hotere is only somewhat tempered by the legacy of his work. This legacy, spanning five decades of uncompromising artistic endeavour, is of itself both tribute and celebration of his life. Against a background of often historically turbulent times Hotere spoke, and continues to speak, through his art.

In March 2012 New Zealand’s highest honor, The Order of New Zealand was conferred on the artist. Sadly missed, always remembered.

Ian Scott’s New Zealand Paintings series began in 1990 and was added to periodically over the ensuing two decades. The series was first and foremost a way of trying to make new-looking paintings. Usually, painters use unofficial “rules” of composition to make their paintings appear unified and therefore satisfying to the eye. They will make sure the various parts of the painting are evenly balanced or in proportion, and that everything seems to belong naturally to the whole. Scott felt that to follow such “rules” would mean to make pictures people were already familiar with – pictures that were “good” in an old-fashioned predictable way, lacking the potential to surprise the viewer or offer a genuinely new kind of experience.

Scott also felt that the contrasting colours and cultures of New Zealand could be a blueprint for what he was after. So he took hold of readily recognisable images that carried dissimilar values and associations – emblematic images of native bush and beaches, the difficult and awkward art of Colin McCahon – and pressed them together in daring and eccentric combinations that dazzle the eye, provoke strong feelings and set up tantalising puzzles. This method also allowed Scott to choose and produce images to suit his own sensibility and style; dashing off virtuoso renderings of McCahon’s paintings; mapping out boldly coloured squares, and printing onto them photographs of the West Auckland environment in which he grew up. These paintings are a remarkable synthesis of Scott’s feeling for vibrant abstract forms and colours (evident in his celebrated Lattice paintings) with his lifetime love of the New Zealand landscape.

ESTIMATE $14,000 - 18,000

The Land is Ours

Oil on board 120 x 100 Signed ‘NIN’

Inscribed verso

REFERENCE Notes attached verso read: The Land is Ours portrays two iconic Maori figures, Sir Kingi Matutaera Ihaka (1921 - 1993), a New Zealand clerk, interpreter, Anglican priest, broadcaster and maori language commissioner appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 1970 Queen’s Birthday Honours, for services to the Anglican Maori Church Of Maori descent, he identified with the Te Aupouri iwi.

The other figure is Dame Whina Cooper (1895 - 1994). During September and October 1975, the nearly eighty year old Cooper became nationally recognised, walking at the head of the Maori land march from Te Hapua to Wellington. She was made a Dame Commander in the Order of the British Empire in 1981 and a member of the Order of New Zealand in 1991.

Born in Auckland in 1942, Buck Nin Ngati Ruakawa, Ngati Toa taught art at Hamilton College for more than twenty years. He graduated from the University of Canterbury in 1965, later gaining a Masters in Education from the University of Hawaii, then a Doctorate in Fine Arts from Texas Technical University. In the 1970s he tirelessly campaigned to raise the profile of Maori Art. Dr Buck Nin’s work was inspired by both his Maori and Chinese ancestry. His work is in the collections of University of Hawaii, Te Papa, The New Dowse, Manawatu Art Gallery, COCA, Aigantighe Art Museum, Rotorua Museum of Art and History and Waikato Museum of Art and History.

Detail

Buck Nin became a major force in the contemporary Maori art movement with his strongly individual style of painting, his teaching, and his willingness to work with people from all walks of life. Buck was a larger than life person not only because of his physical size but also because of his considerable intellect, his energy, his powerful and often large paintings and his commitment to the development of art and its people. The imagery in the work of Buck Nin is drawn from Maori carving, weaving and rafter patterns, spread across a minimalist landscape, like a sacred cloak, warming, embracing and caressing the earth. This is his Maori earth Papatuanuku.

History will show him as one of Maoridom’s and subsequently New Zealand’s great contemporary artists... Friend and fellow artist, Darcy Nicholas

RALPH HOTERE

1931 - 2013

Toi te Kupu. Toi te Mana, Toi te Whenua

Ink and watercolour on paper 58.8 x 39.5 Signed ‘Hotere’, inscribed & dated 1972

ESTIMATE $25,000 - 35,000

PROVENANCE Private Collection since 1972

“As statements of commitment to political and social issues, the works [of Hotere’s `Te Whiti series] are clearly voiced, with titles such as Toi te kupu, Toi te mana, Toi te whenua (the permanence of language, prestige and land).. .The Te Whiti works...were concerned with the layering of written language over landforms, evoking the Treaty of Waitangi and the whole history of colonisation, as well as acknowledging McCahon’s work...”

Gregory O’Brien: Hotere - Out the Black Window, Ralph Hotere’s work with New Zealand Poets, Godwit/City Gallery, Wellington, 1997 p 78 “For Te Whiti o Rongomai, the plough was more than an implement for turning soil, it was emblematic of the dreams and aspirations of an evolving Maori community...

In ploughing the soil beyond Parihaka, the Taranaki ploughmen were inscribing a text into the land - a written assertion of rangatiratanga, of spiritual and material attachment and sovereignty...If the plough has been a symbol of attachment to the land, it has at other times been a symbol of iconoclasm. Importantly, Parihaka history reiterates both these associations... The ploughed line in the landscape has an analogue in the line left by the tattooist’s chisel or needle. Traditional Maori moko is a furrow drawn onto the human skin- its parallel formations contain history, wisdom and whakapapa...

Ralph Hotere began producing line drawings based on symmetrical landscape motifs in the late 1960s, when one such work appeared on the cover of James K. Baxter’s Jerusalem Sonnets. While in subsequent series such as Requiem, 1973 and Song Cycle, 1975, Hotere used formations of lines which were almost exclusively vertical - giving the feeling of rain falling or a forest growing - in the Te Whiti series, 1972 and other early landscapes we see flattened paddocks and horizons. These works assert the fundamental importance of land as ‘a mother that never dies’...

24

Important, Early & Rare Wednesday 10 April 2013

The Te Whiti works are acts of painterly ploughing. If some incorporate formations of lines suggesting, literally, the inscribing of lines into the earth, others offer pared down settings of storm-tossed, ravaged or obliterated horizons. Like the work of Mark Rothko, these are subtle orchestrations of darkness and muted, numinous colour. An earthen orange-brown smoulders beneath layers of blackness in many works. But Hotere will not leave this darkness alone. Words are dug into the fabric of these works - they are etched, scrawled, sprayed and delicately written.

From the early 1960s onwards, Hotere was using language to expand the visual, symbolic and literal content of his art.. .Importantly, the Te Whiti series established longer texts as a viable component in his art. Embarking on the series in 1972, Hotere chose to base his work around extracts from sources including John Caselberg’s The Voice of the Maori (1969), Dick Scott’s The Parihaka Story, 1954, and John White’s compendious Ancient History of the Maori, 1887. Working along side Caselberg and poet Cilia McQueen, Hotere chose the proverbs and waiata, none of which were well-known at the time.

Virtually all of the Te Whiti works incorporate English translations alongside the original Maori. These are paintings to be read, listened to and understood by both Maori and Pakeha...Hotere’s texts invariably address such issues as land rights, the importance of te reo and the need for understanding between cultures. While their sources range far beyond Te Whiti’s settlement of Parihaka, the series gives voice to beliefs and wisdoms consistent with the figure after which it is named.”

Gregory O’Brien: Ploughing- Ralph Hotere’s Te Whiti Series, catalogue essay, Parihaka: The Art of Passive Resistance, Miringa Hohaia, editor, City Gallery, Wellington / Victoria University Press, 2001, p 148 — 153

REFERENCE Years ago Alison gave me a copy of the Anglers’ Eldorado, which was the book Zane Grey wrote to publicise deep sea fishing in New Zealand.

Ever since I read that I thought I would like to go up there and have a crack at that.

Moffitt saw deep-sea fishing as another very ‘Kiwi’ activity to record in paint - the sportive interaction between man and huge fish.

$3,000 - 5,000

In February 1988 Trevor Moffitt and Sue Mercer spent six days in the Bay of Islands, staying at the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Russell. He was looking for a small boat to hire, I said, Is there any chance that Zane Grey’s boat, he had built for the whole thing, is still operating? It turned out it was. It’s called the Alma G and is built in kauri to his specifications.

Absolutely on impulse I booked to go on this boat. That had the locals somewhat astonished because I hired out the Alma G on my own and normally they have about four people sharing the hire of it, since it’s around $350 a day. I think they thought they’d discovered a new South Island millionaire. Sue was on board to take photographs because I knew damn well the moment I put my head down and tried to draw, I’d be sick. So it proved to be, so I didn’t do any drawing ... The big swells you got there off the coast were really amazing - twenty-five to thirty foot swells. That was a great trip .... had wonderful fresh fish the Duke of Marlborough provided every day. That was great - paradise on earth really. Wonderful, but I didn’t catch a big fish. We got a few kingfish ... but we didn’t even see a marlin or a shark out on the deep blue water.

That was for the deep-sea fishing series. It was a fulfilment of a dream.

The life of expatriate artist Felix Kelly is as intriguing as his work. Born in Epsom, Auckland he attended Kings College but left New Zealand aged twenty one years for the bright lights of London. Befriended and patronised by many leading society figures of the day, Kelly exhibited alongside Lucien Freud, Julian Trevelyan and on one occasion Frances Hodgkins. A life of glamour and creativity ensued. Kelly painted the famous Garden Room Murals at Castle Howard, where the ITV series Brideshead Revisited was filmed, designed theatre sets for Sir John Gielgud and Dame Sybil Thorndike and illustrated magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar. Kelly’s distinctive work is held in British and American collections, Te Papa and Hawke’s Bay Museum, and Art Gallery.

47 Doris Lusk was born in Dunedin, the youngest daughter of an architect, Thomas Younger Lusk. Drawing and painting were major interests during her childhood spent in a rural area bordering the Waikato River just outside Hamilton.

With the advent of the Great Depression the family returned to Dunedin. Doris Lusk attended Otago Girls' High School and enrolled herself in the art school of King Edward Technical College in order to pursue her ambition of becoming a painter. Here she met Anne Hamblett ( later to marry Colin McCahon ) and was taught by Charlton Edgar and R.N. Field. Another influence was painter Russell Clark at that time employed as a commercial artist by the printing and publishing firm, John McIndoe. Lusk attended his life drawing classes and was an active participant in the lively art scene which grew up around this romantic figure.

50

Important, Early & Rare Wednesday 10 April 2013

At the time Otago Art Society conservatism was a force to be reckoned with.

Lusk removed her work in protest from an Art Society show whose selectors had rejected one of Colin McCahon’s large Otago Peninsula landscapes ostensibly because it was inadequately framed.

Eventually a group of these younger artists and their supporters packed the Society’s Annual General meeting, voted out the old council and put in a more open minded one. Lusk’s life long devotion to landscape painting was developed through the teaching of Charlton Edgar. Her early Central Otago landscapes in high keyed colour show his influence. Doris Lusk spent three years as a commercial artist and taught art at a number of girls’ schools. In 1941, as Mrs Doris Holland, she moved to Christchurch eventually becoming the mother of a boy and two girls.

48 In 1943 Lusk joined the progressive Canterbury painters - The Group - exhibiting in their Ballantyne's show for that year and many times thereafter. Summer holidays at Duvauchelle, Banks Peninsula led to many paintings of that area; others included the State Hydro series at Waikaremoana; from the mid 1960s the artist began a long series of paintings at Onekaka, Nelson with its black fractured wharf cutting into the surf. In 1947 Doris Lusk became a tutor in pottery and later in painting; in 1967 she was appointed lecturer at the Canterbury School of Fine Arts.

48

Marianne and Gerrit van der Lingen who feature in Lusk portrait lot 48, live in Christchurch. Gerritt is a retired climate change scientist and describes himself as a geologist/paleoclimatologist and climate change consultant. Both are artist’s themselves and exhibited with Doris Lusk in the 1977 Autumn Exhibition at Canterbury Society of Arts.

Gully immigrated to New Zealand from Bath in 1852 accompanied by his wife Jane and their three children. The family settled in Omata, Taranaki where they purchased the Omata Store in 1854. Sadly, lack of trade resulted in bankruptcy and the family relocated to New Plymouth. Gully advertised his availability to paint views of properties for sending abroad and served as a volunteer during the Land Wars. He was invalided out of the army as the conditions were too severe for his constitution. In 1860 the Gully family left New Plymouth for the city of Nelson, purchasing a house in Trafalgar Street with a large orchard and garden. It was here that the artist spent the rest of his life. Gully was encouraged by the geologist Julius von Haast, who commissioned twelve watercolours of the mountains and glaciers of Canterbury. These watercolours were used to illustrate a lecture given

by Haast at the Royal Geographical Society in London in 1864.

Gully became part-time drawing master at Nelson College. Later, through the assistance of politician and artist James Crowe Richmond, he was appointed full time draughtsman to the Nelson provincial survey office. During his lifetime Gully enjoyed popularity and success as an artist, today he is regarded as one of New Zealand’s foremost landscape painters.

Working almost entirely in watercolour, Gully’s field trips yielded a legacy of many finely worked sketch-books full of careful pencil studies and numerous quickwash drawings both in colour and sepia. Large scale watercolours such as the present lot, became immensely popular as centre-pieces at art society shows.

Today only a few such works remain in private hands. Gully enjoyed recognition and success in his life time. All of Gully’s watercolours submitted to the 1865 New Zealand Exhibition in Dunedin sold prior to the exhibition opening. He exhibited at the British Royal Academy in 1871. In 1873, nine paintings we sent to the New Zealand court at the International Industrial Exhibition in Vienna. In 1886 he exhibited at the India & Colonial Exhibition in London and the Intercolonial Exhibition in Melbourne. He also exhibited works with the Society of British Watercolour Artists in London. Gully Died in 1888 aged sixty nine.

John Gerrard Keulemans was the most sought-after bird artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A prolific, talented, work-oriented illustrator, he produced quantities of excellent bird plates for books and journals of the period. Although he worked largely from bird specimens, he was adept at creating drawings that were anatomically correct as well as attractively presented.

88

Keulemans was one of several well-known artists who contributed to Lord Thomas Lilford’s Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Islands (1885-1897). This seven-volume work contained 421 plates, representing late 19th-century chromo lithography at its best. He illustrated many important bird books, including Buller’s A History of the Birds of New Zealand, 1873 - 1888, William Vincent Legge’s History of the Birds of Ceylon, 1880, Richard Bowdler Sharpe’s Monograph of the Alcedinidae (kingfishers), 1868, Henry Seebohm’s Monograph of the Turdidae ESTIMATE PROVENANCE (thrushes),1902, Osbert Salvin’s Biologia Centrali-Americana (1879–1904), Edgar

Four works from the Estate of Douglas Badcock Born in Balclutha 1922 Douglas Badcock had a highly successful professional art career.

Preferring to paint en plein-air, mostly in oil, Douglas earned a reputation as one of New Zealand’s leading landscape painters. His paintings are included in the Queen of England’s collection and King of Thailand’s collection. Douglas was a Kelliher Art Award winner and several books have been published on his work. He came second in the 1959 Kelliher Art Award and third in the 1962 award.

Badcock held his first exhibition in Wellington in 1960, selling out within two days. A review at the time described him as ‘a realistic painter and absolutely sincere with a natural talent and a high technical standard ... A master of the New Zealand landscape, he paints New Zealand as he sees it’. He produced at least three publications: My Kind Of Country then later My Kind of Painting and A Painter in Fiji.

In a Listener article in 2004, Mr Badcock said: I paint seas, skies, mountains. I paint the world I know, as it appears to me. I have an image that is there and I have to record it. When I’m painting I let the subject reveal itself. Picasso said I don’t seek, I find. And finding is a revelation – intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. The primary motivation is self-expression, but if there’s no vision, if we don’t see beauty in nature any more, then we’re nowhere.
