Edmund Gouldsmith Untitled [possibly Mount Alexander from the Taramakau River]
The river pictured here may be the Taramakau in Te Tai Poutini West Coast, once a favoured travel route for Kāi Tahu across Kā Tiritiri-o-te-moana Southern Alps. Merging into Nōti Taramakau Harper Pass, this was one of the more accessible ways through this challenging terrain. London-trained artist Edmund Gouldsmith painted at the Taramakau and other Te Waipounamu South Island mountain regions during his two years in Aotearoa New Zealand.
