Poets and Musicians from the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Collection
Inspired by Alan Pearson's love of music and poetry, this selection of portraits of prominent New Zealand musicians and poets from the New Zealand Portrait Gallery collection ranges from contemporary poet Glen Colquhoun to legendary songstress Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. These works provide a portrait of the people who use words and voice to interpret and question the world around us.
