Farewell to Hawaiki
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that transports us back in time, capturing the essence of an era marked by imperialism and colonialism. Created by Arthur David McCormick, this print showcases the artist's talent for depicting historical scenes with remarkable detail. The image portrays a significant moment in New Zealand's history as it bids farewell to its ancestral homeland, Hawaiki. The composition features a bustling harbor filled with boats, including a majestic tugboat ready to transport settlers towards their new home within the British Empire. The presence of native Maori people adds depth and complexity to the narrative, highlighting the cultural exchange that occurred during this period. McCormick's use of vibrant colours brings life to every element within the scene - from the lush landscapes surrounding Hawaiki to the intricate patterns adorning Maori garments. This attention to detail allows viewers to immerse themselves fully in this historical moment. As we gaze upon "Farewell to Hawaiki" we are reminded of both the triumphs and complexities associated with colonization. It serves as a visual reminder of how different cultures intersected during this transformative chapter in New Zealand's past. This print from Bridgeman Images captures not only McCormick's artistic prowess but also invites contemplation on themes such as identity, migration, and heritage. It stands as a testament to our shared human history and encourages us all to reflect on our own place within it.
