Te Papa, Toi Art, Level 4 Free entry

It is a rare and wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the art of one of the leading women artists of 20th Century New Zealand, brought together from galleries and private collections. Angus was dedicated to painting all her life. Her feminist and pacifist ideas and her love of life shine through in her work.

70 of her works have been collected, around half of them being watercolours. They are a mixture of landscapes, rural and urban, botanical works, self-portraits, and portraits of close friends and family members.

Ive tried through the medium of paint to express. how simple and wonderful life is. ~ Rita Angus, 1944
