| Colin McCahon (1919â 1987) was New Zealandâ s greatest twentieth-century artist. Through landscapes, biblical paintings and abstraction, the introduction of words and MÄ ori motifs, McCahonâ s work came to define a distinctly New Zealand modernist idiom. Collected and exhibited extensively in Australasia and Europe, McCahonâ s work has not been assessed as a whole for thirty-five years. In this richly illustrated two-volume work, written in an accessible style and published to coincide with the centenary of Colin McCahonâ s birth, leading McCahon scholar, writer and curator Peter Simpson chronicles the evolution of McCahonâ s work over the artistâ s entire forty-five-year career. Simpson has enjoyed unprecedented access to McCahonâ s extensive correspondence with friends, family, dealers, patrons and others. This material enables us to begin to understand McCahonâ s work as the artist himself conceived it. Each volume includes over three hundred illustrations in colour, with a generous selection of reproductions of McCahonâ s work (many never previously published), plus photographs, catalogue covers, facsimiles and other illustrative material. Along with Colin McCahon: There is Only One Direction. Vol 1. 1919â 1959, this book will be the definitive work on New Zealandâ s leading artist for many years to come. |
