Offered in 0 more formatsAfter 18 years of research and travels in New Zealand, Australia and the Czech Republic, Joan and Kevin have decided that it was time to compile this history of one of the foremost art recorders of New Zealanders through his portraiture. He is well known for his Maori portraits, but of his unseen works of art, over half of them are of European settlers and these are mainly still in private collections hidden away from public view and therefore unknown at large. Includes 180 pages in colour, and 127 portraits mostly of unseen European NZ settlers. It tells of his early life and art training in Bohemia, the Czech Republic and his work before coming to New Zealand, his arrival and 15 years of travels and commissions in New Zealand, and the 36 years he lived in Woodville until his death in 1926. It also includes accounts of his family tours back to Europe with photos, post cards and letters all giving an insight into the life of this great NZ artist. Supporting this life story are newspaper articles of his advertising, travels, portraits and people, and a section on Woodville's tribute to him. A section of this publication lists a timeline of his life, family, travels and nearly 400 portraits painted.
