 Some Earlier NZ Paintings from the Fletcher Collection
James Crowe Richmond was a lifelong friend of Gully, and his companion on many painting expeditions (they painted together at Milford Sound, at Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau and other parts of the country).
A man of deep culture and distinguished educational background, John Kinder emigrated to New Zealand in a spirit of high Victorian idealism in 1855 to take up the mastership of the Church of England grammar school in Parnell, Auckland.
His painting was a spare-time activity, and his small watercolour landscapes, finished at leisure in a dotted and sponge-blotted technique, simplify and formalise the unruly New Zealand terrain, imposing an order that may have had something to do with his earlier years at Trinity College, where he read for honours in mathematics.
