Rita Angus was one of New Zealand’s pioneer artists and this exhibition features 40 works covering the span of her career, from 1929 to 1969. The exhibition has been developed from Te Papa’s 2008 retrospective exhibition Rita Angus: Life and Vision and draws from Te Papa’s collection and the Rita Angus Estate. It includes portraits and self-portraits, landscapes, unfinished studies and seldom-seen items. The exhibition shows Angus’s commitment to pacifism, her strong feminist views, her spiritual beliefs, her love of nature and affinity for the New Zealand landscape.

Developed and presented by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

Lecture: Saturday 12 May 1.30 pm
Jill Trevelyan, author, art historian and co-curator of Rita Angus: Life and Vision, gives an illustrated lecture
