ARTIST Some of the finest silk-screen printing in Auckland is done by Matt Chote, artist of Maori parentage. Mr Chote was born in Dannevirke, but came to Auckland twenty years ago. Silk-screen printing is a highly intricate process, depending for its success on imaginative design and very careful colour printing. In the picture, we see posters, just printed, moving along a roller. Mr Chote, with a staff of five, has established a high reputation in the five years during which he has been in business. He began to be interested in art when still at school and learnt his trade after a five year apprenticeship which was interrupted by the war. When discharged, he resumed his apprenticeship; he attended night classes at the Elam School of Art. In addition to posters; he makes painted table mats, chopping boards and other objects which can be decorated by screen printing. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ DENTIST Dr F. P. (Tiwha) Bennett, who has a busy dental practice in Ponsonby, is a leading representative of the Maoris who have branched out in the professional field in Auckland: He is a son of the late Bishop of Aotearoa and a brother of Charles Bennett, High Commissioner in Malaya.
