The Quoin Club

Founded in 1916 this club was formed to foster an interest in the graphic arts in Auckland. Its clubrooms in the Mining Chambers in Exchange Lane were the meeting place for those who shared similar enthusiasms, among them architect W.H. Gummer, commercial artist Arnold Goodwin and civil engineer Tom Gulljver. Other members included such men as Herbert Tornquist, David Payne and Marcus }(jng all of whom distinguished themselves as artists. The club ceased to exist in 1929 when members felt that the growing enthusiasm for colour had displaced their interest in black and white etching, wood engraving , lithography and wood cuts. Although only 42 when he died Tom Gulliver was the Quoin Club's authority on print making techniques. It was at his instigation that John Barr, at that time Director of the Auckland City Art Gallery and also a member of the Quoin Club, established a print collection at the Gallery

10 An extremely rare New Zealand art publication comprising hand lithographed portraits of members of the Quoin Club accompanied by original verses. Publjshed in a small edition for the members and dated 1917. The volume of caricatures of members is entirely the work of Arnold Goodwin. He produced both drawings and poems , including the one in which he pokes fun at his own vegetarianism Goodwin is also known for his creation of the touring Puppet Theatre and the Carlton Studio, an early advertising agency in Auckland.

Estate of Lois White

(1903-1984)

Lois White was born in Auck.land and enrolled as a student at Elam in 1924 She freely acknowledged the influence of A.J C Fisher , the school ' s Director , upon her work , particularly in the matters of political and poetical subject matter

The interest in Old Testament themes was a more personal concern.

She and Fisher also shared an enthusiasm for the paintings of Rembrandt , El Greco and Botticelli

Lois White taught at Takapuna Grammar School for eight years , then she joined the

Elam staff, working alongside John Weeks, A.R D. Fairburn and Ida Eise.

She travelled to Europe in 1961-62 and retired from Elam in 1963.

In an interview in Art New Zealand 18 , Lois White remarked that the tendency towards the decorative was a basic impulse in all her work.

The following twelve oils and collection of works on paper are a part of the contents of the artist's studio at the time of her death.

John Holmwood

John Holmwood was born in Wellington in 1910. He studied and taught at Wellington Technical College, working in etching and woodcut techniques with E. Mervyn Taylor. In 1940 he designed and executed New Zealand Railways murals for the 1940 Centenial Exhibition. On returning from World War rr he and his wife set up Auckland's most wellknown art studio.

Holmwood's main period as a painter covers the years 1946-1971.

In 1969 he travelled extensively living in Sicily for some months. Paintings done there were later exhibited by the Auckland Society of Arts.

In 1960 he shared an exhibition with Woollaston and Gabrielle Hope and his 1952 Landscape with a Sawmill was one of the most impressive pictures in the New Zealand Painting 1940-1960, Conformity and Dissension Exhibition.

In 1972, following the death of his wife, Holmwood went to live in England. His painting career came to an abrupt end in 1976 as the result of partial loss of sight. He died earlier this year.
