Download or read book Northland M ori Wood Carving written by Deidre Sharon Brown and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2003 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art is the soul of culture. This book is an introduction to the art of whakairo rakau (Maori wood carving) from the Tai Tokerau district, the 'Northland' region that stretches from Auckland to the top of the country. It discusses the characteristics and definitions of the regional style and the debates surrounding provenance, as well as northern carvers and their tools, materials and work. The dynamic history of the practice, including its development, appropriation of European materials and ideas, decline, repression and recent revival, is examined using a wealth of historical resources, and the place of museums and individuals in the collection and renaissance of these taonga (treasures) is critically assessed. This is followed by a comprehensive illustrated catalogue of Tai Tokerau wood carvings in national and international museums, many of which cannot normally be viewed by the public. The book is a valuable guide for anyone interested in some of the earliest and most beautiful works of Maori craftsmanship. It is written for the non-specialist reader, although people with a scholarly, professional or cultural relationship with the region and its art will discover more about Tai Tokerau whakairo rakau.

Book excerpt: Tene Waitere (1854-1931) of the Ngati Tarawhai was the most innovative Maori wood carver of his time. His works reached global audiences, decades before the globalization of culture became a fashionable topic. This is the first book about Tene Waitere, with its elegant and powerful photographs documenting great houses and other carvings now dispersed in England, Germany, and various parts of New Zealand. Hinemihi, the carved house featured in one section of this book, sheltered survivors of the Mt. Tarawera volcanic eruption in 1886 before being removed to the park of an English country house. The magnificent His carved Ta Moko panel is one of New Zealand's icons. The travels of Tene Waitere's works tell us something about the interplay between empire and art. The book includes interviews and combined perspectives of his descendants - a leading contemporary carver, a master photographer, and a distinguished anthropologist and historian of Pacific art - making this book unique as a dial

Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide examines the personal histories, roles, and personalities that played into the traditional cultural art of carving. It also traces the influence of European patronage and the ensuing tourist trade upon this art form, as many Maori carvers began styling and catering their product to meet their clients’ aesthetic desires. Included is a discussion of the establishment of the government-sponsored Rotorua School of Maori Art in 1928, which appointed as the main tutor Eramiha Kapua, a Ngati Tarawhai carver, thus helping his own traditional tribal art to make the transition into a modern “national” art.

Download or read book Art of Maori Carving written by Hirini Moko Mead and published by Raupo. This book was released on 1986 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maori woodcarving is enjoying popularity unparalleled in modern times. Since the groundbreaking Te Maori exhibition toured America and New Zealand, thousands of people have come to appreciate Maori woodcarving, with some 'having a go' at carving in wood themselves. Hirini Moko Mead, formerly Professor of Maori at Victoria University of Wellington and himself an accomplished carver, has written this book about what is surely New Zealand's most original and most representative art form. He details the tools and timbers, the styles, patterns and techniques in a clear and proven manner for the amateur carver. He examines the historical and cultural tradition of carving, its origins and development, tribal variations and interpretations. He also explores the survival and vitality of the art, not only in the context of pre-European society, but also against the background of a resurgent Maori consciousness in modern New Zealand.
