Sisterly: A. Lois White, Rosaleen Norton, Jen Alexandra

• The Witch of King’s Cross meets the Methodist of Mt Albert. Rosaleen Norton (1917-1979) and A. Lois White (1903-1984) were both artists born in New Zealand in the early 20th century, whose allegorical work often centred around the female body. By the early 1970s, their wildly different life paths saw one artist dismissed as a scandalous occultist, the other as hopelessly conservative and old-fashioned. But the surprising similarities in their work reveal that there is far more to both than wicked witch or prudish painter.
