'This catalogue is one of ten published on the occasion of the exhibition, Manufacturing Meaning: the Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection in context. It documents and explains the contribution of guest curator, Linda Tyler, to the project. Tyler examines John Weeks', Figure composition I (1950s), as an instance of the influence of French modernist painting on the development of art in New Zealand in the 1950s.'
