Book Synopsis See What I Can See by : Gregory O'Brien
Download or read book See What I Can See written by Gregory O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography was invented in France in 1839 - the year before the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in New Zealand. Within a few years, cameras were charting the life and times of people at this end of the planet. See What I Can See is a celebration of that remarkable, well-travelled, ever-changing invention - the camera - the New Zealand that it captured, and the artists who wielded it. See What I Can See is a book about darkness and light, about careful planning and doing things on the spur of the moment, about the quickness of digital photography and the slowness of old technology. It's a woman driving a tractor and a kid in a Colgate tube, a rock at Ngauruhoe and a Wahine survivor on a truck, it's surfies and selfies and cabbages the size of kings. The book also presents a picture of a country - Aotearoa New Zealand - living its life, dreaming its dreams and taking care of its day-to-day business. See What I Can See is an introduction to New Zealand photography that will appeal to young and curious photographers, students of New Zealand art history, or anyone who wants to sample the extraordinary range of images made in this country by our photographers.

Book Synopsis The New Zealand Wars 1820–72 by : Ian Knight
Download or read book The New Zealand Wars 1820–72 written by Ian Knight and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1845 and 1872, various groups of Maori were involved in a series of wars of resistance against British settlers. The Maori had a fierce and long-established warrior tradition and subduing them took a lengthy British Army commitment, only surpassed in the Victorian period by that on the North-West Frontier of India. Warfare had been endemic in pre-colonial New Zealand and Maori groups maintained fortified villages or pas. The small early British coastal settlements were tolerated, and in the 1820s a chief named Hongi Hika travelled to Britain with a missionary and returned laden with gifts. He promptly exchanged these for muskets, and began an aggressive 15-year expansion. By the 1860s many Maori had acquired firearms and had perfected their bush-warfare tactics. In the last phase of the wars a religious movement, Pai Maarire ('Hau Hau'), inspired remarkable guerrilla leaders such as Te Kooti Arikirangi to renewed resistance. This final phase saw a reduction in British Army forces. European victory was not total, but led to a negotiated peace that preserved some of the Maori people's territories and freedoms.
Book Synopsis Galleries of Maoriland by : Roger Blackley
Download or read book Galleries of Maoriland written by Roger Blackley and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galleries of Maoriland introduces us to the many ways in which European colonists to New Zealand discovered, created, propagated, and romanticised the Maori world summed up in a popular nickname describing New Zealand; Maoriland. But Blackley shows that Maori were not merely passive victims: they too had a stake in this process of romanticisation. What, this book asks, were some of the Maori purposes that were served by curio displays, portrait collections, and the wider ethnological culture? Galleries of Maoriland looks at Maori prehistory in European art; the enthusiasm of settlers and Maori for portraiture and recreations of ancient life; the trade in Maori curios; and the international exhibition of this colonial culture. By illuminating New Zealand's artistic and ethnographic economy, this book provides a new understanding of our art and our culture.

Book Synopsis The Rex Nan Kivell Collection of Early New Zealand Pictures by : Rex Nan Kivell
Download or read book The Rex Nan Kivell Collection of Early New Zealand Pictures written by Rex Nan Kivell and published by . This book was released on 1953 with total page 48 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Colonial Constructs by : Leonard Bell
Download or read book Colonial Constructs written by Leonard Bell and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the European settler perceive M&āori? What images of M&āori society and culture did European artists create for their distant audiences? What preconceptions and aesthetic models lay behind early European depictions of M&āori? These are some of the questions explored by art historian Leonard Bell in this major study of the relationship between the visual representation of M&āori and the ideology of colonialism. He explores the complex and unbalanced cultural interchange between Europeans and M&āori in nineteenth-century New Zealand, in addition to showing how the great range and variety of pictures often revealed more about the artists &– and their society and its attitudes &– than they did about M&āori themselves. This lively and readable book is well illustrated with examples of the artists' work and will be an important contribution to the understanding of colonial New Zealand and the role played by the artist in expressing and creating cultural patterns.
