A collection of ‘open air’ and impressionist paintings by artists who frequented Pumpkin Cottage, an artists’ retreat led by James Nairn at Silverstream, Upper Hutt, in the 1890s. Artists featured include Nairn, Frances Hodgkins, Girolamo Nerli and Nugent Welch. The ‘Pumpkin Cottage artists’ were noted for their bright, painterly and intimate images, which were a radical departure from the grand romantic landscapes dominant at the time. The exhibition is drawn from Expressions Arts & Entertainment Centre’s Pumpkin Cottage Paintings Collection, and from public and private collections.
