Toi Te Mana: An Indigenous History of Māori Art

Deidre Brown, Ngarino Ellis, Jonathan Mane-Wheoki

He toi whakairo, he mana tangata.Through artistic excellence, there is human dignity.

Toi Te Mana is a landmark account of Māori art from the time of the tupuna (ancestors) to the present day. In 600 pages and over 500 extraordinary images, this volume invites readers to climb on to the waka for a remarkable voyage - from ancestral weavers to contemporary artists at the Venice Biennale, from whare whakairo to film, and from Te Puea Herangi to Michael Parekowhai.
