Doris Lusk: Retrospective Exhibition, 14-31 August 1966, Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Dunedin: Caxton Press, 1966.
Doris More Lusk (1916-1990) was an artist, art teacher, university lecturer and ceramicist. Born in Dunedin, she attended Arthur Street School, Otago Girls’ High School (1930-33) and King Edward Technical College.
Lusk held her first solo art exhibition at a studio in Moray Place in 1940. Her Central Otago landscape paintings often include industrial themes, such as hydroelectric power stations. In 1966, the first retrospective exhibition of her paintings took place at Dunedin Public Art Gallery. A second retrospective of her work took place at the Dowse Art Gallery in 1973.
Lusk taught at the Canterbury School of Fine Arts from 1966 to 1981, initially as a tutor and later as a lecturer. One of New Zealand’s pioneer potters, she created ceramics largely under her married name Doris Holland, chiefly in earthenware.
