'Selected Works' an exhibition drawn directly from the Toss Woollaston Trust, must be categorised as an exhibition of considerable importance, demonstrably reminding us of and reasserting Woollaston’s true significance in New Zealand art and that, as Charles Brasch wrote, “Woollaston was one of the first to see and paint New Zealand as a New Zealander.”Preview the exhibition online here: https://www.milfordgalleries.co.nz/dunedin/exhibitions/10993-Toss-Woollaston-Selected-Works
“Writers on my work are fond of quoting me as having said, many years ago, that I wanted to paint the light, but only after it had been absorbed into the earth. It is true. Therefore, yellow ochre is my only yellow. I don’t need any brighter… Similarly, I need only earth reds, light red and Indian red…”*
