Central Otago 1969

"Central Otago" (1969) by Rita Angus (1908-1970) is a striking landscape painting that captures the beauty of the region in New Zealand. The painting uses a bold color palette of warm browns, yellows, and greens to depict the rolling hills, winding river, and distant mountains. Angus’s style is characterized by its simplified forms and use of flat planes of color. The painting is a testament to Angus’s talent for depicting the natural beauty of her homeland and is a valuable piece of New Zealand's artistic heritage. The artwork is currently on display at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington.
