A True & Strange Story (2009)
[Acquired: Sunday, September 23, 2012]:Pennefather, Audie M. A True and Strange Story: The Life of Teuane Ann Tibbo - Artist, 1895-1984. Vermont South, Victoria, Australia, 2009.
Bronwyn gave a talk on Teuane Tibbo last Sunday, at the Home AKL show which is currently up in the Auckland Art Gallery:
Writer, curator, and tutor at the School of English and Media Studies, Massey University (Albany), Dr Bronwyn Lloyd discusses the art of self-taught Samoan artist Teuane Tibbo (1895 - 1984).
Tibbo, who only began painting at the age of 71, had a brief but influential career, exhibiting with a number of mainstream established artists such as Colin McCahon, Michael Illingworth, Pat Hanly, and Tony Fomison.
Bronwyn organised an exhibition of Tibbo's works at Lopdell House Gallery in 2002, which played a considerable role in bringing her back to everyone's attention. I couldn't resist buying a copy of this rather eccentric, self-published biography of Tibbo by her daughter.
