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. This early painting of boats, a building and water was likely produced under Fairburn’s tutelage. On the reverse of this painting is a still life with vessels and fruit that may have been produced at Janet Paul’s home.
