Rata Lovell-Smith
Rata Alice Lovell-Smith (née Bird, 1894 - 1969) was a New Zealand artist from Christchurch.
Lovell-Smith trained at the Christchurch College School of Arts and then taught there from 1924-45.〔Kirker, Anne. ''New Zealand Women Artists'' Reed Methuen, 1986〕〔Brown, Gordon and Keith, Hamish. ''An Introduction to New Zealand Painting 1839-1980'' Collins, 1982〕
==Style and subject==
Her paintings were generally of landscapes, botany and flowers. She always painted in situ, and never painted from notes. Sometimes she would have several paintings on the go from the same location, each with different weather.〔 Lovell-Smith's painting style is characterised by bold design, broad flat areas of colour, and an almost poster-like style. She emphasised basic patterns and shapes, sometimes exaggerating the intensity of colours. At the time, some critics responded to it by saying it went "counter to good tradition" or that it smacked of commercial art.,〔 while others defended her saying:
Lovell-Smith can be understood as part of a movement of New Zealand artists in the 1930s including Olivia Spencer-Bower, Rita Angus and Alfred Cook who art writers A.R.D Fiarburn, James Shelley and '"Conrad" recognised as providing a "new manner" of painting better representing New Zealand and its light. This included the removal of romantic or golden mist and soft warm colour, and a move towards clear hard light, and displaying sheer, sharp, more linear forms.〔Pound, Francis. ''The Invention of New Zealand Art: Art and National Identity, 1930 - 1970'' Auckland University Press, 2009〕
