Mount Egmont
George Chancecirca 1925
Te Papa
Wellington, New Zealand
Pictorialists such as George Chance were influenced by Japanese prints, with their strong graphic qualities and simplified picture elements. Here Mt Egmont/Taranaki recalls Japan's Mt Fuji, and the wind-shaped trees resemble those often seen in Japanese art. It may be no coincidence that Chance had in fact spent time in Japan.
