HORSLEY, Jean;

Māori Mere

1988
Oil on canvas
1130 x 875mm

This work using the distinctive shapes of Māori mere was begun in 1963 in London and only finished in Aotearoa after Jean Horsley had returned to live in this country. Its shifting colour tonalities and interlocking shapes demonstrate the control which is the hallmark of the artist’s best work.
