Frances Hodgkins: Anything But A Still Life unveils the life and art of one of New Zealand’s most revered painters. Frances Hodgkins holds a unique place in the New Zealand Art history. Her ambition drove her to spend her career in Europe where she spent most of her live and yet the modernist painter is now a source of inspiration for many contemporary New Zealand artists and creatives.
