An Insight into the Development of the Design Movement in Canterbury and the History of the Ilam School of Fine Arts

This online exhibition is based on a ΢��ҕ�l Summer Scholarship project co-supervised by the Art History Department and the Macmillan Brown Library, 2011-12.

Postgraduate student Alice Tappenden catalogued and researched a collection of over 200 art works by James Johnstone (1893-1977) and his daughter Ngarita (b. 1928), donated to the library by Ngarita Johnstone. The exhibition is composed of key art works chosen, researched and written about by Alice to provide a visual introduction to this stunning collection.

It presents an overview and history of the collection, as well as providing a visual insight into the development of the Design Movement in Canterbury and the History of the Ilam School of Fine Arts.
