The Poi Dancer

Production date

 Description
Oil painting of a Maori girl poi dancer. For a decade between 1926 and 1936, Maori subjects predominated Adele Younghusband's her work. Unlike depictions of Maori by such artists as Charles F. Goldie, Younghusband’s work demonstrates a connection to earlier women artists, such as Frances Hodgkins and Mina Arndt, who portrayed Maori in a more sympathetic, less anthropological vein.
