Lovely Rita: A Painter's Life
Rita Angus uncompromisingly stood alone among her generation. A pioneer of modern painting who produced such iconic landscapes as Cass, an image of an isolated railway station in the Southern Alps, in additon to a series of remarkable portraits and self-portraits. Her style is instantly recognizable, characterized by crisp, hard-edged form, stark lighting and brilliant colour. Directed by Gaylene Preston this insightful documentary is a fascinating look at one of New Zealand's outstanding 20th century artists.
