1. Black and white wood engraving print of two cats snoozing together in tall grass and wildflowers, seen from above. One is a shorthaired tabby and white, and a shorthaired tuxedo cat is resting its head on the tabbies flank. It's a very soothing, peaceful scene.

  Eileen Mayo has a special place in Christchurch’s art history, not only because of her extraordinary prints and illustrious career but also her tangible connections with this city. Mayo settled here in Christchurch in 1967, having established a career as a printmaker and designer in Britain and Australia. Her British contemporaries included Mabel Annesley and Clare Leighton, both of whom are included in this exhibition, and several works by these artists came into the Gallery's collection as part of a gift of British modernist prints by Redfern Gallery director Rex Nan Kivell. Mayo adored cats. They were a constant source of companionship throughout her life and were regularly used as subjects in her art. ####[The Golden Age 18 December 2015 – 1 May 2016](http://christchurchartgallery.org.nz/exhibitions/golden-age)
