Strangers Arrive: Émigrés and the Arts in NZ

From the 1930s through the 1950s, a substantial number of forced migrants - refugees from Nazism, displaced people after World War II and escapees from Communist countries - arrived in New Zealand from Europe. Among them were an extraordinary group of artists and writers, photographers and architects whose European modernism radically reshaped the arts in this country. Their stories and images have been captured in a new book, Strangers Arrive, by Leonard Bell.
