Colin McCahon - Volume 2 : Peter Simpson

Volume 2 -  Is This the Promised Land?  1960 - 1987    

Through landscapes, biblical paintings and abstraction, the introduction of words and Maori motifs, McCahon's work came to define a distinctly New Zealand's modernist idiom. Collected and exhibited extensively in Australasia and Europe, McCahon's work has not been assessed for thirty five years. Volume 1 of a two volume set, richly illustrated and accessible, Peter chronicles the evolution of McCahon's work over the artist's entire forty five year career.
