Frances Hodgkins - NZ Expatriate Artist

Although Frances Hodgkins was born in New Zealand, her importance as an artist lies in her having been at the forefront of British modernism in the 30’s and 40’s.  Her last visit to NZ was in 1913 which puts her firmly in the category of an expatriate artist. 

In 1940 she was selected to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale – she was then 71 years old.  She died in 1947.
