The Frenzy of the Hauhau, The Incantation
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and vibrant lithograph that transports viewers to the heart of New Zealand's colonial era. Created by Arthur David McCormick, this print captures the essence of a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene from Reginald Horsley's book "New Zealand" in the Romance of Empire series. It showcases the frenzy and intensity of a traditional Maori dance known as Hauhau, accompanied by powerful incantations. The Maori people believed in harnessing spiritual energy through these rituals. In this artwork, McCormick skillfully portrays the passion and fervor with which the Maoris perform their sacred dance. Their bodies twist and contort in rhythmic harmony while their faces display an intense focus on invoking supernatural forces. This lithograph not only highlights cultural practices but also sheds light on British imperialism during colonization. It serves as a reminder of how indigenous cultures were both celebrated and suppressed under colonial rule. "The Frenzy of the Hauhau, The Incantation" invites us to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate the richness and diversity of human traditions. Through its vivid colors and dynamic composition, it immerses us into an ancient world where spirituality intertwines with resistance against foreign dominance. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, let us honor those who have fought to preserve their heritage amidst changing times while acknowledging that art has always been instrumental in capturing moments that shape our collective
