Untitled [Seated Woman in Bathing Costume]
Maker
Margot Leonie Luise Philips
Production date
Circa 1950-Circa 1953
Description
During the 1950s German-born Jewish artist Margot Philips (1902 – 1988) attended annual Auckland Residential Summer Schools in Art and Design, first at Ardmore Teachers’ Training College, and later at Auckland Art Gallery. This early student work was likely made while attending one of these classes. On the reverse of this sketch is an abstract painting.
Figurative works like this were a rarity for Philips, who eventually launched a career as one of the Waikato’s leading twentieth-century artists. Philips first experimented with landscape painting in the 1950s, and then rose in prominence through the 1960s and 1970s.
