EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gottfried Lindauer's iconic painting, "Hinemoa" created in 1899. The artwork depicts the legendary Maori lovers, Hinemoa and Tutenakai, who resided near Lake Rotorua. Lindauer beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tale through his masterful use of oil on canvas. In the image, Hinemoa is adorned in traditional Maori attire, including a korowai made from flax and hukahuka strands. She also wears a Piupiu skirt crafted from hanging flax strands woven into a waistband. A feather mat further enhances her regal appearance. The painting's composition highlights Hinemoa's striking beauty as she stands amidst lush greenery and vibrant flowers. Her long hair cascades down her back while she gazes off into the distance with an air of determination. Lindauer expertly portrays the cultural significance of clothing and adornments within Maori tradition, emphasizing their connection to identity and heritage. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only physical attributes but also conveying emotion and depth. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Lindauer's talent for immortalizing indigenous people through his artistry. It invites viewers to delve into New Zealand's rich history while celebrating the strength and resilience embodied by its native population.
