 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. While Philips is known for her landlocked Waikato landscapes, she also spent time in Coromandel, bringing the sea into her paintings in a series of works exploring the view along the coastline.
