Tree (watercolour)
Rita Angus1943
Te Papa
Wellington, New Zealand
Rita Angus painted this watercolour while staying at the home of her sister Jean Jones in Greymouth. It was a calm and contemplative trip towards the end of winter. The painting’s stark clarity and simple composition give it intensity – reflecting Angus’s close observation of the natural world.
