Pat Hanley -RIP
Famed New Zealand painter Pat Hanly has passed away due to Huntington's Disease. From a news article:
"He made a huge contribution to New Zealand art. He had a passion for both painting and printmaking, and has been a wonderful teacher to many people."
Hanly was considered one of New Zealand's leading modernist painters and printmakers, as well as a feisty and outspoken activist. The New Zealand Who's Who lists his hobbies as "Kite-flying, sailing, Greenpeace".
He travelled to Europe for various residencies in the late 1950s, and absorbed influences such as Picasso and Chagall.
He returned to New Zealand in 1962 and settled in Auckland, becoming a part-time lecturer at the university's school of architecture. His work is held in all the major public galleries in the country.
He is survived by his wife, photographer Gil Tavernor and three children.
