Arbutus Berries by Rata Lovell-Smith

Fine Art Print

Image size in millimetres: 390 x 390

From Te Papa’s collection, they describe the original painting as being one of Rata Lovell-Smith's earliest still lifes, “painted at the height of her reputation as a painter of the Canterbury landscape. She approaches this interior in the same way as she approached her landscape paintings, which were regarded by New Zealand critics in the 1930s as both adventurous and controversial. Her treatment of form and colour meant that her work was at times likened to 'posterish' commercial and graphic art.” The Arbutus is also known as the “Tree Strawberry”. We are down to the last print from this surprisingly popular printing, it won't be re-printed again in the foreseeable future. Update: Now sold out
