New Zealand Modernists 1950’s-1970’s is a reminder of a bygone
era, where the confines of what quintessential New Zealand
Art was were not yet clearly established nor defined. Through
including artists such as Ralph Hotere, Gordon Walters, Jean
Horsley, Richard Killeen and Philip Clairmont, New Zealand Mod-
ernists shows us the divides, but also convergences between the
dichotomies of black/white, the indigenous/the expatriate, the
traditional/the contemporary, male/female and minimalist/ex-
pressionist often present in the works of this time.
