Rita Angus Memorial Drawing 2 by Michael Smither

Silkscreen/Screenprint

Print size in millimetres: 280 x 380
Edition of 23 prints. Printed, signed and numbered by Michael Smither.

The second of Smither’s artworks based on the cruciform shape melded with elements of the Central Otago landscape. This black and white print is from a series that was begun by the artist back in 1970, when during Smither’s tenure as the Frances Hodgkins fellow at Otago University painter Rita Angus died. This 2014 edition of prints came about when some of his early drawings re-surfaced and were returned to Smither for restoration. Smither decided to turn them into screenprints on artistico fabriano paper.
