A CENTURY OF ART
Exhibition On Tour
UNEDIN, home of the first art school in New Zealand (1870), home of David Low, of Frances Hodgkins, Heber Thompson, was most suitably selected as the first stop‘ping place of the National Centennial Exhibition of New Zealand Art, now on tour. With it goes Dr. A. H. McLintock, of the Centennial Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs, Dr. McLintock was trained and educated in Dunedin. From the day of the opening ceremony, performed by the Hon. F. Jones, on February 19, Dunedin took kindly to the compliment the city had been paid, On the opening night 650 people attended and since then hundreds have viewed the exhibits, with interest fanned by broadcasts from 4YA and 4ZB, and favourable newspaper comment. The historical section of the exhibition is very wide in its scope. It ranges from a drawing from Abel Tasman’s Journal (1642) through the early artists who accompanied Cook and the French navigators, and the early pioneers of New Zealand Company days, to men like Richmond, Gully, Nairn, and van der Velden, of the nineteenth century. Much of the early work has been drawn from the Turnbull Library and the Hocken Library, and is now available for the first time in an exhibition. Contemporary New Zealand artists, working both at home and abroad, are
well represented. Many of their works gathered from public galleries and private collections, will be on view for the first time. From Dunedin the exhibition will be taken to all main centres in both islands
