Edith Collier: Early New Zealand modernist

Editat de Jennifer Taylor, Greg Donson, Jill Trevelyan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 sep 2024
Published to coincide with the reopening of the Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui, this substantial and handsome book examines the continuing impact of Whanganui-born and British-trained Edith Collier and her artistic legacy. 
In an era of growing international interest in women artists, Collier’s work is finding a new audience via books, exhibitions, documentary films and other projects. 
Edith Collier was a dynamic modernist, and the story of her years in Europe and then her return to New Zealand and the near abandonment of her practice are compelling as both art history and an affecting human story. A century on, her remarkable body of work remains fresh and contemporary. 
Featuring over 150 artworks, this book’s major essay by award-winning art writer Jill Trevelyan and its collection of guest essays offer a deep and rich immersion in Collier’s craft.

Recenzii

‘A great book to read, a book to leave open and stare at, and I reckon a lead contender for next year’s Ockham Book Awards’ — David Hill, RNZ

‘A particular strength of the book is the detailed contextual information about the many factors — financial, cultural, geographical, and sociological — that supported or hampered Collier’s development as an artist . . . Andrew Clifford, director of the Sarjeant, expresses his hope that the book “will draw more attention to Edith Collier’s work, increase our understanding of her practice, and contribute further to the significant reputation she deserves”.  The book succeeds on all counts.’ — Anne Kerslake Hendricks, NZ Booklovers

‘The quality of writers heaping praise upon Collier in the book is remarkable, including (of course) Joanne Drayton, Jennifer Taylor, Gretchen Albrecht, Priscilla Pitts, Lizzie Bisley, poet Arini Beautrais and her nephew Gordon Collier, whose short piece is called “Aunt Edith”.’ — Linda Herrick, Kete Books

‘A portrait as vivid and lively as one of Edith’s own artworks’ —  Jenny Partington, takahē
