Soft Cover. Condition: Very good. Theo Schoon (1915-85) is a controversial figure. He was born in Java to Dutch parents, but educated back in the Netherlands at the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts. He arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1939, where he would become a catalyst for modernism. The first comprehensive exhibition of Schoon's art in decades, Split Level View Finder rethinks his legacy for twenty-first-century Aotearoa. The exhibition presented Schoon's work as constantly in dialogue or dispute with other cultural forms and artists. He shared his interest in Maori art with Gordon Walters. Their works shared a close, decades-long conversation. In addition to Walters, the exhibition included works by Rita Angus, A.R.D. Fairburn, Rolfe Hattaway, Dennis Knight Turner, Douglas MacDiarmid, Paratene Matchitt, Selwyn Muru, Arnold Wilson, and Ans Westra.
