Hamish Keith
The Big Picture
New Zealand/Aotearoa
This re-run of the recent television series documents in detail
some of the most significant art works of our history. The series
tells the story of New Zealand art from earliest rock drawings to
the present day.
Through these six 50-minute episodes, Keith presents
a personal, and at times controversial, view of New Zealand’s
cultural history, showing how artworks reflect the way we have
shaped our
lives.
The series confronts New Zealand’s ‘cultural
cringe’ and
the impact it has had on our art history. Keith asserts that
some conventional ideas about art need to be turned on their
head
and challenged.
Keith is a guest author as part of the Power of Words
literary programme. Check out the details here.
