I backtracked a bit from where I left off yesterday to photograph two paintings in one of the side corridors of the world collection. T.E. Lawrence as Aircraftman Shaw is from 1935, and is by Augustus John, a portrait of Lawrence of Arabia.
From one war to another. Dunkirk Beaches, May 1940 is by Richard Eurich, dating to 1940-41.
When I started this series I mentioned a large installation at the end of a corridor. This is it. AKA is the work of a collective of New Zealand indigenous artists, the Mato Aha Collective, done in 2019 for an exhibit here on indigenous art across the world. It appears, at least for the moment: to have stayed, dropping down nearly the full heght of the building.
This view looks along the upper level from this area, towards the glass tower.
And coming to the end of that walkway gives a view of the glass tower, lit up at night. We conclude this series tomorrow.
oh AKA kind of looks like a traditional woven Maori fishing net.
ReplyDeleteFotos interessantes.
