This head by the Maori sculptor Arnold Wilson was one of the most popular pieces in a very successful exhibition of his work which recently travelled around the North Island under the auspices of the Community Arts Service. Mr Wilson, an art teacher at the Bay of Islands College. Kawakawa, is one of the best sculptors working in New Zealand today. Sometimes, like a number of other modern New Zealand artists, he is influenced to some extent by traditional Maori and Polynesian sculpture. The head we illustrate here is unmistakably modern—and yet there is something very familiar about it, especially in the treatment of the eyes and forehead. We hope to have an article on Arnold Wilson's work in a later issue of Te Ao Hou.
