Artist's Trip Overseas Mrs Eve Magee, of the Ngati Kahungunu tribe, presents her painting of Florence Nightingale's home in London to Mrs William Mason Smith, Jr. of New York City, a member of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association, and vice-chairman of its International Division. The kiwi cloak Mrs Magee is wearing was loaned by the New Zealand Consulate in New York. An old pupil of Hukarere College, Mrs Magee (Eve White) had two exhibitions in Palmerston North to help realise her ambition to go to Italy to study the language, the history of art, and to attend the Academy of Art at Perugia. It was a very rewarding experience, and she hopes that as a result she will have a deeper feeling for the spiritual significance of her own work in depicting a way of life as lived in New Zealand by her Maori people. Mrs Magee visited well known galleries in Germany, and also saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris. She held successful exhibitions in Rome, and at New Zealand House, London, where her painting of Ngaruawahia Pa will be hung in the gallery room. The Pan Pacific South East Asian Association sponsored her exhibition at Lexington Avenue, New York. It also was a success.
