There he studied under famous academic artists like William Bouguereau from whom he learnt a style of oil painting that involved a high degree of skill in drawing and painting the human figure in a naturalistic way with an emphasis on modelling, and illusionistic texture. It was a studio-based practice requiring the use of posed models and controlled lighting. Detail and verisimilitude were essential so that the close-up view was favoured. With Goldie, as in Memories, it is almost always a one-on-one encounter with the sitter. We experience the intimacy of being able to almost reach out and touch his subjects, for the tactile is the essence of his art. He had a passionate involvement with his artistic mission and was remarkable for his single-minded focus on one type of work. He painted almost nothing else for his entire career but portraits of old-time Maori. At an early stage of his career, it was remarked how he returned again and again to the same sitters. This was especially true of Ena Te Papatahi who sat for Memories. A critic for The Auckland Star in 1905 remarked that ‘...the well-known chieftainess ... sat for two pictures this year, as well as two the year before and two before that.’2 Undeterred he continued to paint her, even showing her controversially as if in death in The Last Sleep (location unknown). In all, he painted her some twenty times. The pragmatic reason for her popularity with Goldie was given by the Auckland Star critic as her ready availability. Although Goldie presents her in Memories as seemingly living in a traditional Maori village, she did in fact live in the Waipapa Maori Hostel in Mechanics Bay, Auckland, a short walk from Goldie’s Hobson Street studio. The Hostel was a facility in Auckland where Maori who had difficulty finding accommodation in town could stay for free with their own people. Ena stayed there for years with a friend who also posed for Goldie. Ena was able to go to Goldie’s studio and get regular work for which he paid her. This was exactly the arrangement painters living in Rome or Paris had when hiring exotic models to pose for their compositions. Goldie was not interested in Ena simply as a subject for a portrait. She could be a vehicle for projecting the melancholic mood he wanted to show at the passing of traditional Maori lifestyle and values. Her age, her chin tattoo ( moko kauae) and her dignified bearing as a chieftainess matched his requirements. Also, she was willing to pose and to be dressed by the artist, as in this case, in a cloak ( korowai) with black tassels, with a tiki carved in greenstone ( pounamu) hung around her neck and an ear pendant, also of greenstone, visible on her shoulder. The inclusion of carved Maori figures in the whare (house) behind her and the paddle evoke a traditional setting, not that of urban Auckland. What Goldie has done is transform Ena into his symbolic image of an old Maori chieftainess lost in recollections of earlier pre-colonial times. The title Memories captures that idea succinctly. In another, larger painting of Ena in the Dunedin Art Gallery the title is expanded to ‘The memory of what has been and never more will be.’ Ena appears to have been a likeable character with a keen sense of humour who wore European dress and smoked a pipe. On occasion Goldie showed her this way. While Goldie did not have great imaginative ability, he did have a commitment to conveying ideas and feelings through the mood of his paintings. At times he could be humorous as well as sad and nostalgic. He was not just a literal recorder of what was before him but an interpreter of the Maori at a time of great change. There is nothing to suggest that he had a deep knowledge of Maori language and culture. He did not speak Te Reo, Maori language, nor did he have engagement with their society. He was in many respects an outsider, but he took his art seriously and captured much of the dignity (mana) of his sitters in his paintings which are prized today by modern Maori as a treasure ( taonga) to be handed down to future generations. He painted both male and female sitters favouring those who were older and had the traditional tattoo or moko. He rarely painted young women or young men. Memories is an excellent example of Goldie’s smaller works on a wooden panel rather than canvas. It dates to 1910, a time which is regarded as his finest period as a painter. The wood support gave a firm surface for him to build up his textures as seen in the treatment of the grey hair of Ena with heavy impasto to give it a tactile quality. He also evokes the depth of the incisions of her moko, cut by chisel, into the flesh in a painful process. In this instance the painting has a pronounced chiaroscuro in the face with fully half the image in shadow. Ena’s eyes are downcast, and half closed to convey the idea of introversion and thought rather than awareness of or engagement with the viewer. In another work called Forty Winks, 1915 (private collection) he shows Ena asleep in her own dream world. Goldie was an admirer of Rembrandt whose studies of elderly sitters such as his Woman in Prayer, known in various versions, use the same effects of chiaroscuro and self-absorption to convey a mood that leads from the literal to the spiritual. This dimension sets Goldie apart from his most well-known rival in the depiction of Maori, Gottfried Lindauer (1839 – 1926).3 Lindauer made extensive use of photographs and gives a wooden, objective recording of features and artefacts suitable for a museum display. Goldie aims at a more human recording of feeling and gives a greater sense of reality to his portraits by his technical skill and illusionism. For example, the way he shows the tiki half hidden by the cloak gives an informality to the item and does not emphasize its ethnographic value. Although small, Memories bestows a dignity and grandeur to Ena Te Papatahi that befits the subject who was descended from prominent Nga Puhi rangatira (chiefs). 1.

The painter is one of New Zealand’s most famous and renowned, with a fascinating catalogue of work made between the 1890s and the 1940s. He is perhaps best known for his distinctive portraits of Māori elders, which have been the subject of both theft and forgery, acclaim and disdain.¹ His work is instantly recognisable; it was made with a level of technical finesse that is unmatched in contemporary painting.   While he was born in Auckland, and first developed his artistic talents there, 22-year-old Goldie travelled to Europe to further his studies in 1893.² The introduction to Alister Taylor’s 1979 tome C.F. Goldie: Prints, Drawings & Criticism begins as follows. “In the 1890s, when C. F. Goldie was a student and painter in Paris, France was in a cultural and artistic ferment. The masters of the Impressionist movement were at work; there were exhibitions of Monet, Manet and Renoir; the reputation of Degas was at its height. In England, where Goldie studied under Sir James Guthrie, the names of Oscar Wilde and Whistler were legend […]. How could any young student except perhaps the most insensitive escape the excitement and effect of all these influences?”³ Needless to say, directly experiencing Europe in such heady times had an effect on Goldie's painting.   Head of a Nubian, an oil painting from 1896 was painted by Goldie in Paris and is inscribed accordingly. It is a remarkable work for a number of reasons. Firstly, though its subject is not a Māori elder, it is immediately recognisable as a Goldie; the artists’ characteristic flair in portraiture shines through. Secondly, the work was created by the artist at the age of twenty six, when he was developing his craft in the intoxicating environment of Impressionist Paris. That lends the work a particular romantic flair – the young, idealistic artist testing his metal in the cultural crossroads of the Earth. Finally, for all the obvious finesse of the portraiture, the treatment of paint in the background is loose, gestural, expressive. In this one can detect the environmental influence, the painterly flourish of Renoir or Degas, and sense the thrill of the young artist mastering his abilities.   What is most impressive about this painting is how it brings together the youthful exuberance of a young artist abroad with the distinctive mastery of portraiture which has made Goldie a household name. One might then see this painting as sitting at a developmental crossroads – the step where the precocious youth moved into his power as a master artist. These are but a handful of the reasons why this work is an extraordinary painting. As all great paintings do, it invites the viewer to look, engage, and wonder.   1 Te Ara – The Encyclopedia of New Zealand. 2 Ibid. 3 Alister Taylor, C.F. Goldie: Prints, Drawings & Criticism, 1979.
