About this painting
Created from an old Pictorial Education article February 1937. Makus' family had the newspaper clipping hanging in their home growing up. “It was an article about how the Māori had ‘assimilated’ into Pakeha culture and we used to scoff at it and our nana would tell us stories about how the white folks used to ban them from speaking Māori. It was a conversational piece that I always remember talking about.”

About the Artist
Maku Fenaroli (Justina Makurata Bisset) is a self taught artist, born in Auckland but practicing in Melbourne since 2013. She has enjoyed drawing and painting all her life but only really started sharing it with the world when she moved to Melbourne. Her Iwi is Ngāi Tūhoe, and her whanau hail from the Waimana ranges, a beautiful part of New Zealand that Maku enjoys visiting. The mum of two, having moved away from New Zealand feels a sense of home when creating Māori artwork with her signature layered patterns, and as such has expressed that her artwork will primarily feature Maori work moving forward.
