John (Hans) Less (1923-2011) and Marie Vandewart Blaschke (1911-2005), born in Berlin, fled Germany to escape the Nazi regime’s persecution of Jews and settled in New Jersey and New Zealand respectively. When their sons met in 1981, they discovered their shared heritage, including the art which played a central role in their parents’ lives.
Although the artworks in the Less and Blaschke collections contrast in style, similarly dramatic circumstances characterise their origins and preservation. We invite you to view highlights from both collections in this unique New Zealand show, featuring original watercolours of John Less and diverse German graphics from around the turn of the 20th century. Together, they provide a unique example of universal refugee experiences.
