Frances Hodgkins: 250 Curated Paintings Frances Hodgkins was a New Zealand-born painter whose work occupies a distinctive place in early twentieth century modern art. Born in 1869 in Dunedin, she began within a traditional framework but gradually developed a highly individual visual language shaped by movement, experimentation, and an evolving relationship between representation and abstraction. While her early work reflects observational study, her later paintings move toward a more fluid and interpretive structure, where objects are reimagined through colour, rhythm, and spatial ambiguity. Hodgkins’s paintings are characterised by their balance between control and freedom. Structured compositions coexist with fluid passages of paint, producing images that resist rigid definition. This independence from strict stylistic categories gives her work a lasting sense of originality. Frances Hodgkins: 250 Curated Paintings presents a wide and carefully considered selection of her work, offering a comprehensive view of her artistic evolution and her contribution to modern painting. Part of the My Private Art Gallery series, this volume presents her paintings with careful digital restoration and a thoughtful gallery style format. The aim is to recreate the experience of viewing paintings slowly and attentively, much like walking through a quiet gallery.
