Annotated bibliography of seven New Zealand women artists who worked towards abstract painting and abstract expressionism during the 20th century

Abstract

An annotated bibliography of resources for information about seven New Zealand women artists who worked towards abstract practice and Abstract Expressionism during the twentieth century. It provides a perspective of how the artists began painting and what happened during their careers. It takes the view that these women laid a foundation for others in New Zealand to follow. Some emphasis has been given to archives in the belief that as a primary source they provide a contemporary and individual look at an artist's working life. The bibliography is intended to be used by undergraduate art history students and general readers, and as a starting point for serious researchers.
