A Strong Dutch Influence?

The Dutch artists who came here, were influenced by the latest continental trends. Petrus van de Velden introduced landscapes, painted in a strongly expressionist style. Ans Westra created unique photo documentaries of Māori. Frank Carpay at Crown Lynn potteries was a good mate of Picasso's. Leon van den Eijkel introduced the country to Mondriaan. Doris de Pont made a mark on the fashion industry. Peter Deckers links our art jewellery into continental Europe and the art scene in the United States.
