Robin White (artist)

Dame Robin Adair White, DNZM (born Te Puke, 1946) is a New Zealand painter and printmaker, recognised as a key figure in the regionalist movement of 20th century New Zealand art.

Early life

White grew up in the Epsom suburb of Auckland, the youngest of seven children. Her father, a builder, was of Māori descent.

Education

White completed a Diploma of Fine Arts at Elam School of Fine Arts in 1967.

Along with her contemporaries Richard Killeen and Ian Scott, White was taught by Colin McCahon at Elam and has cited him as an important influence on her development as commitment as an artist.

Career

After art school White moved to Bottle Creek, Paremata in 1969, and taught art at Mana College. Here White taught herself to screenprint, motivated by a desire to make her art more accessible and affordable. She has frequently reproduced her oil paintings (such as Mangaweka (1973) in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa) as prints.

While at Bottle Creek White befriended local writers, including Sam Hunt, Jack Lasenby, Fleur Adcock and Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, and historian Michael King.
