Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... The Rex Nan Kivell Exhibition of Early New Zealand Pictures is an important artistic occasion ... the average quality is surprisingly high, especially when one realises that so many of the artists were also primarily surveyors, engineers, soldiers, or politicians. There is another aspect to this particular exhibition -- the accurate, factual representation makes it of historical importance. The life of those early years in New Zealand is graphically displayed in these pictures. The artists made many studies of the Maoris [sic] and their customs. The first settlement, the growth of townships, and the changing landscape are portrayed over the years ... The entire Nan Kivell Collection covers not only New Zealand and the Pacific, but also Australia ..." -- Foreword.

Download or read book Heaphy written by Iain Sharp and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly illustrated with Charles Heaphy's remarkable paintings and drawings as well as photographs and maps from the period, this engaging work tells the story of Heaphy's life and his art. A draughtsman, explorer, surveyor, gold agent, geologist, soldier, war hero, politician, land commissioner, and judge—even by the versatile standards of Victorian pioneers, Charles Heaphy had an unusually varied career. His biography tells as much about his own life as it does of the settlement of New Zealand. From his earliest surviving watercolor of bird life in 1839 to his last-known sketch, drawn on the back of an envelope in 1879, Charles Heaphy's art represents a remarkable visual diary of life as a settler in New Zealand.

Book Synopsis Hunting the Collectors by : Susan Cochrane
Download or read book Hunting the Collectors written by Susan Cochrane and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates Pacific collections held in Australian museums, art galleries and archives, and the diverse group of 19th and 20th century collectors responsible for their acquisition. The nineteen essays reveal varied personal and institutional motivations that eventually led to the conservation, preservation and exhibition in Australia of a remarkable archive of Pacific Island material objects, art and crafts, photographs and documents. Hunting the Collectors benchmarks the importance of Pacific Collections in Australia and is a timely contribution to the worldwide renaissance of interest in Oceanic arts and cultures. The essays suggest that the custodial role is not fixed and immutable but fluctuates with the perceived importance of the collection, which in turn fluctuates with the level of national interest in the Pacific neighbourhood. This cyclical rise and fall of Australian interest in the Pacific Islands means many of the valuable early collections in state and later national repositories and institutions have been rarely exhibited or published. But, as the authors note, enthusiastic museum anthropologists, curators, collection managers and university-based scholars across Australia, and worldwide, have persisted with research on material collected in the Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cook's Endeavour Journal: The Inside Story brings to life the record of one of the world's most famous expeditions, the circumnavigation of the globe by Lieutenant James Cook aboard HMB Endeavour. It is a timeless story of courageous exploration - the charting of New Zealand and Australia's eastern seaboard - and of high adventure: a stand-off with a hostile Brazilian army and a near-shipwreck that almost brought the voyage to a premature end. The voyage of the Endeavour helped make sense of the eighteenth-century world. Cook's Endeavour Journal: The Inside Story, told in Cook's own words and in historical detail, will help you understand how.
