Montana Lindauer Art Award to Maori artist
A Maori artist, Sandy Adsett, of Gisborne, has won the top prize in New Zealand’s richest art competition, the Montana Lindauer Art Award.
His oil painting, “Aue,” which examines whether there is conflict between Christianity and Maori traditions, won him $3OOO. The winner of the second prize was Leonard Lambert, of Napier, for his mythological work, “The Fire Trees.” He was awarded $2OOO. A Christchurch artist, Keith Morant, won third
prize of $lOOO for “Performance,” a brightly coloured abstract oil painting.
Merit awards went to Jane Reynolds, of Maraekako, near Hastings, for “Late Run Shearing,” an oil Eicture of a shearing gang; fave O’Neil, of Wanganui, for "Circus,” a circus scene in oils; John P. Gully, of Gisborne, for a landscape, “From the Huiarua Range, Urewera,” and Sue Vincent Hill, of Auckland, for “Susan Mary,” a water-colour montage of a small girl. This year’s Montana Lin-
dauer award was judged by Mr Campbell Smith, director of fine arts of Waikato Museum of Art and History. The winners were announced in Gisborne by the director of the National Art Gallery, Mr Luit Bieringa, at the opening of the exhibition. Mr Smith said the overall standard was extremely good.
