Description: Interview with New Zealand artist and former director of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, Guy Ngan, conducted from July - August 2011. 'Guy Ngan was born in Wellington in 1926, the son of a Chinese New Zealand businessman and his second wife who herself became a successful businesswoman and family matriarch. Guy was taken back to China as a 2 year old and would likely have stayed in the Guangzhou area there had it not been for the Japanese invasion in 1938. When Guangzhou was bombed Guy's father made hasty arrangements for Guy and his elder brother Albert to leave. The two boys travelled unaccompanied to New Zealand by ship. They lived initially in Newtown but Guy, unhappy at Newtown School, quickly struck out on his own arranging to stay with relatives in Miramar. This was the beginning of an independent way of life and thinking that Guy has continued to pursue.' (information provided by interviewer). The interview discusses his early life, education, experiences abroad, and his art career in New Zealand.
