Christine Rabarts Art Dealer Presents a Showcasing of Paintings and Screenprints by Master Artist Michael Duncan Smither.

In 2004 Smither was awarded the CNZM (Companion to the New Zealand Order of Merit) for Services to Art.

Michael has been painting for over 66 years and is renowned as one of our most recognised master painters in New Zealand and his paintings are held innumerable public collections including Auckland Art Gallery and Te Papa Tongawera Museum of New Zealand and established private collections throughout NZ and worldwide.

In art history books Smither is filed under hard-edge realism as one of the most prominent and iconic influencial painters in NZ art history.

During his long and prolific career, Michael Smither has found continuing inspiration from his immediate environment. This has resulted in a large body of work that is synonymous with the New Zealand landscape and culture.

He paints coastal and mountain landscapes, family and children, domestic objects and religious symbols. Michael also has a continued interest in reflections with a large collection of famous colour works that are strongly influenced by his knowledge of music and harmonics. Michael has held many prestigious one-man shows in New Zealand and Australia.
