Marian Maguire
The Labours of Herakles
In this collection of lithographs and etchings Marian Maguire has reworked historical lithographs, old photographs and text of classical vases by casting the hero of Greek mythology as a New Zealand colonist.
These turbulent times were a difficult period of our history, a time during which great strength of character was required by both Pakeha and Maori.
