Description

This book explores the art of Colin McCahon prior to 1947, to explain the exact nature of his engagement with modernist principles and practices. Through the careful analysis of selected works and drawing on his extensive knowledge of McCahon's life and letters, Brown offers rare insights into the artist's sources, working processes and attitudes. Gordon Brown is an artist, writer, curator and critic. His publications include "An Introduction to New Zealand Painting" 1969, 1982 (with Hamish Keith); "Colin McCahon: Artist" 1984; and "Visions of New Zealand: Artists in a New Land" 1988.
