'Old man and his books'
Date Unknown
Oil on canvas
Ida Carey (1891–1980) was a pioneering New Zealand artist who spent most of her working career in Hamilton. She was a teacher at St Paul’s (Staff 1961–1963). In 1934, Ida was instrumental in initiating the formation of the Waikato Arts Society. Ida is often remembered for the numerous late-career portraits she painted of Maaori women with moko.
The old man and his books reflect Ida Carey’s strength in portraiture, for which she became widely recognised.
