Robert N Field
Artwork Detail
Robert Field studied art together with Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore at London's Royal College of Art. He arrived in Dunedin in 1925 to begin teaching art full-time. In 1931, he established the Studio of Modern Art, which later led Toss Woollaston to recall: 'Dunedin in 1932 was the most artistically enlightened place in New Zealand.' This direct stone carving is the first 20th century portrait sculpture created in New Zealand by a professional artist.
