New Zealand Painting

Charles Frederick Goldie

Artist: Charles (C.F.) Goldie
Title: All ‘e Same t’e Pakeha
Portrait of Te Aho-te-Rangi Wharepu, Ngati Mahuta also known as “A Good Joke”. 

Charles Goldie is known for his portraits of New Zealand Maori chiefs (ariki) and women of rank (kuia). His paintings chronicled the traditional tattoos of these Maori men and women.

Charles Goldie was born in Auckland, New Zealand, on 20 October 1870. The second of eight children born to David Goldie and his wife, Maria Partington.

However, many Mäori see Goldie's works as taonga representing irreplaceable ancestral images of koroua and kuia which, for Mäori, have special significance. 

Charles Goldie painting is so captivating and elegance. This will be favourite one of Goldie's painting seeing Te Aho-teRangi Wharepu , Ngati Mahuta smiling in this painting is pleasing.

John Reynolds, Cloud, detail

 John Reynolds work is really interesting little canvas with all the slangs words hanging on the wall. I really like it's just look's enticing. Walking with letter's there's just so many slang's or poetry to read from but really interresting to see and something different and not using any colour's.

Dick Frizzell, MNZM is a New Zealand artist based in Hawke's Bay. Frizzell's work is best described as expressionist pop in its appropriation of kitsch kiwiana icons and incorporation of them into his often cartoon-like paintings and lithographs








AFTER: After mean's painting or drawing copying the same idea's by the same artist or a painting is painted after an artist. 


 After Painting

I have made up my mind and work on Dick Frizzell painting because it just looks really simple and interesting to paint. It took me a while to think what to paint and finding ideas from one of my artwork's so I came up with butterfly's so I change the Mickey mouse to a flower and a butterfly. And change the colour's and mixing it up with brighter colours.
