Making New Zealand vol 01 no 02: The Maori
This oil painting was made by W. Wright in 1912, and the original now hangs inthe Auckland Art Gallery. Entitled 'A Native Gathering,' the picture shows many of the European influences in the life of the modern Maori. It is interesting to compare these two pictures with Gilfillan's lithograph (1840) on the right of page 17
