Vida Isabella Steinert (née Vickers; 24 January 1903 – 27 February 1999) was a New Zealand painter, born in Hamilton, New Zealand. Also known as Vida Isabella Vickers, Vida Isabella Steinert, or Vida Steinhart.[3]
A graduate of the Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland, Steinert was part of the Rutland Group of painters, alongside Jack Crippen and Ruth Coyle.[4] During her career she was based in Auckland, and associated with painters Charles Tole, Bessie Christie, Helen Brown, Joan Lillicrap, Joycelyn Harrison-Smith, and Alison Pickmer.[5]
A modernist painter, her work often depicted life in New Zealand, specifically local people and landscapes. Steinert worked primarily in oils, watercolors, and pencils. Her works include: The Valley; Ponies at the fair; Road to Colville; and Spanish Dancer.
In 1950, Steinert exhibited with The Group,[6] [7] an informal art association from Christchurch, New Zealand, that formed to provide a freer alternative to the Canterbury Society of Arts. Steinert also exhibited with the Rutland Group[8] [9] and the Auckland Society of Arts.[10]
