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.
This early work shows a liberally recomposed view from the dining room window in Janet and Blackwood Paul’s home in Hooper’s Road. The Pauls were close friends with Philips. Janet Paul invited Margot and other aspiring artists from Kirikiriroa Hamilton to meet for drawing sessions at the Paul's home.
