Maori war canoes on the Triti of Waitangi
"Rotoronga", NZ-1996, 95x100cm
|
This was a journey where only two large size paintings were produced.
Unaware, Artberg bought for himself a very fast "racing
cat". Only later did he find out that his sailing experience was
not sufficient to sail as planned to one of the islands in the north
of New Zealand.
Because of this he had to stay on a camping ground and in addition to
his painting, he had to learn how to sail a sensitive catamaran
without falling into the water! |
