Study for Girl in a Lace Collar ; Raymond McIntyre; c.1920; 2024.005

Shared by
New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata

Raymond McIntyre, born in Christchurch, studied at the Canterbury College School of Art. In 1909 he moved to London, where he spent most of his career after finding limited success in New Zealand. Once in London, McIntyre embraced European modernism and became known for his refined, Japanese woodblock-inspired style. His portraits and landscapes focus on achieving a delicate, idealised beauty, with an emphasis on balanced design, simplicity, and harmony. By the 1920s, McIntyre lived with his sister Doris and her husband in a creative expatriate New Zealand community which further influenced his artistic vision. Doris McIntyre married Geoffrey William Douglas Mulgan after he returned form the First World War. Doris and Geoffrey later emigrated to London where they played an active part in a creative expatriate New Zealand community in England. By 1926, McIntyre lived with his sister and her husband in a converted studio flat above their garage in London.
