Gordon walters - Painting no.1 1965 (Auckland Art Gallery)

I saw this painting at the Auckland Art Gallery in NZ whilst on holiday. It's one of Gordan Walters studies using the famous New Zealand koru motif. It demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of geometric abstraction. Walters spent time in Europe during the 50's and this work in particular is an interesting uniting of Polynesian and European art traditions. http://www.aucklandartgallery.com/
