EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Patara Te Tuhi, 1901" by Charles Frederick Goldie, a renowned New Zealand artist. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece is housed in the Auckland War Memorial Museum. The subject of the painting is Wiremu Patara Te Tuhi, an esteemed member of Ngati Mahuta from Waikato. Intriguing elements are brought to life through this portrait. Adorned in traditional Polynesian attire, Patara exudes strength and pride. His face bears intricate tattoos known as ta moko, symbolizing his tribal identity and warrior status. Feathers and jewelry further enhance his regal appearance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of paint - from the texture of Patara's hairstyle to the fine lines etched into his skin. This painting not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Maori culture and heritage. Frank Buffetrille skillfully photographed this print without compromising its essence or commercializing it for profit. Instead, he allows viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance behind Goldie's work. Through this image, we are transported back to 1901 when tradition reigned supreme and indigenous peoples thrived amidst their rich cultural tapestry. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and the importance of preserving diverse cultures for generations to come.
