Description
German-born Jewish artist Margot Philips (1902 – 1988) is one of the Waikato’s leading twentieth-century artists. Philips’ career as an artist began after she arrived in Kirikiriroa Hamilton in 1938, first experimenting with landscape painting in the 1950s, and then rising in prominence through the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1970s Philips flew over the South Island and was struck by the artistic potential of vast landforms as seen from above, producing a series of works, like this one, in response.
