Description
German-born Jewish artist Margot Philips (1902 – 1988) began her artistic career only after her arrival in Kirikiriroa Hamilton in 1938. Enrolling in a series of adult art classes, Philips first experimented with landscape painting in the 1950s, rising in prominence as a landscape painter through the 1960s and 1970s.
Philips attended sketching classes under Geoff Fairburn, held at scenic spots along the Waikato River on Saturday mornings. This early landscape painting by Philips may have been produced under Fairburn’s tutelage. On the reverse of this work is a second tempera landscape in a similar style.
