Download or read book Maori Art written by Dr Rangihiroa Panoho and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up until now books on Maori art have described the work as either traditional (carving, weaving, painting) or contemporary, work produced post-1950s. This book presents a unique focus on Maori art by exploring the connection between the traditional and contemporary, and the place of Maori art within an international context. Maori Art provides a framework for looking at Maori art in a new way and fills a gap in Maori art history - while there are myriad surveys of Maori art there is currently very little critical writing on Maori art and artists. The book is extensively illustrated with over 400 art works, landscapes and meeting houses, many never published before, including 100 specially commissioned photographs from renowned New Zealand photographers Mark Adams and Haruhiko Sameshima.
Download or read book Gauguin and Maori Art written by Bronwen Nicholson and published by Godwit. This book was released on 1995 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1895 Paul Gauguin spent ten days in Auckland, en route to Tahiti for the second and final time. During his stay he visited the Auckland Art Gallery and the Auckland Museum, and recorded in a sketchbook details of some of the fine Maori carvings he observed. When Gauguin left Auckland he took with him a small but vital collection of new images, several of which were later to appear in major paintings. Gauguin and Maori Art is published to coincide with the centenary of Gauguin's visit to Auckland. For the first time the complete sketchbook is reproduced, alongside photographs of the Maori carvings Gauguin sketched and the paintings which demonstrate the significance of Gauguin's first-hand encounter with Maori art.

Examples of taonga (treasures) created by leading contemporary artists are shown alongside each project with a brief explanation of the object, its purpose and use in the past and present. While teaching as a museum/art gallery educator, the author had numerous requests from parents, teachers and educators over the years for ideas on how they could teach art and Maori culture to their children. These projects have been compiled in response to those requests, along with research and observation about how children connect with art. By engaging in these projects children will recognise that art takes many forms and can be enjoyed by everyone. This book will appeal to anyone looking for art activities that focus on Maori art and culture, and will suit both girls and boys. An emphasis on upcycling means that the ideas are accessible to the budget conscious without compromising on quality.

Download or read book Te Ata written by Witi Tame Ihimaera and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2002 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Te Ata is a regional perspective on contemporary Maori art by a new generation of Maori art critics. Its focus is on the vibrant range of arts that have arisen out of the creative traditions of Te Tairawhiti -- the East Coast-Poverty Bay region. Six writers -- Witi Ihimaera, Katerina Te Hei Koko Mataira, Ngarino Ellis, Ngapine Te Ao, Chris Bryant and Paerau Corneal -- discuss the major art movements in East Coast history, such as carving traditions, painted houses and weaving. With the many colour reproductions of contemporary art forms, the book explores the development of these East Coast traditions in the modern context, through the work of leading artists such as Cliff Whiting, Robyn Kahukiwa and Bob Jahnke, as well as the new wave of young artists like Michael Parekowhai, Dion Hitchens and Natalie Robertson. Essays also consider the ground-breaking Gisborne art school, Toihoukura, and the politics of museum art collections. Four years in the writing and production, Te Ata is a bold statement about Maori creativity by Maori, one that is much awaited by both a general readership and an educational audience.

Book excerpt: "Among all the cultures of the Pacific region, that of the Maori stands out in its rich repertoire of highly-refined and complex arts. Historically, art has pervaded the whole Maori way of life, and in this century there has been a conscious effort to preserve - or revive - the tradional skills of weaving and fibre arts, painting, latticework, carving, tattoo, chant and oratory, as well as Maori language and customs. The spiritual dimension of Maori art is still strongly felt: the taonga, or art treasures, of the Maori are not only objects of beauty but of great spiritual and ancestral power."--BOOK COVER.
