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 later 1970s and 1980s Philips’ landscapes started to include dwellings. Although the two houses in this work are separated by fields, for Philips, this inclusion of houses represented a sense of community rather than isolation.
