Book Synopsis Colin McCahon: Signed Limited Edition Slipcase by : Peter Simpson
Download or read book Colin McCahon: Signed Limited Edition Slipcase written by Peter Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With each volume signed by author Peter Simpson and combined in a slipcase edition limited to 100 copies, this set is an extraordinary work chronicling forty-five years of painting by our most important artist, Colin McCahon. Colin McCahon (1919¿1987) was New Zealand¿s greatest twentieth-century artist. Through landscapes, biblical paintings and abstraction, the introduction of words and Maori motifs, McCahon¿s work came to define a distinctly New Zealand modernist idiom. Collected and exhibited extensively in Australasia and Europe, McCahon¿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 McCahon¿s birth, leading McCahon scholar, writer and curator Peter Simpson chronicles the evolution of McCahon¿s work over the artist¿s entire forty-five-year career. Simpson has enjoyed unprecedented access to McCahon¿s extensive correspondence with friends, family, dealers, patrons and others. This material enables us to begin to understand McCahon¿s work as the artist himself conceived it. Each volume includes over three hundred illustrations in colour, with a generous selection of reproductions of McCahon¿s work (many never previously published), plus photographs, catalogue covers, facsimiles and other illustrative material. This set combines Colin McCahon: There is Only One Direction. Vol 1. 1919¿1959 and Colin McCahon: Is This the Promised Land? Vol 2 1960 1987 in a single slipcase set and will be the definitive work on New Zealand¿s leading artist for many years to come.
