Download or read book The Spirit of Colin McCahon written by Zoe Alderton and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of Colin McCahon provides a vivid historical contextualisation of New Zealand’s premier modern artist, clearly explaining his esoteric religious themes and symbols. Via a framework of visual rhetoric, this book explores the social factors that formed McCahon’s religious and environmental beliefs, and justifications as to why his audience often missed the intended point of spiritual his discourse – or chose to ignore it. The Spirit of Colin McCahon tracks the intricate process by which the artist’s body of work turned from optimism to misery, and explains the many communicative techniques he employed in order to arrest suspicion towards his Christian prophecy. More broadly, The Spirit of Colin McCahon outlines a model of analysis for the intersection of art and religion, and the place of images as rhetorical devices within Antipodean culture. The emerging field of religion and visual culture is important not only to students of New Zealand art history, but also to a growing field of appreciation for the communicative power of images. This book provides a helpful model for examining art and literature as social and religious tools, and advances the importance of visual rhetoric within studies of art and social expression.

Book excerpt: Presenting viewers with new insight into the meanings of Colin McCahon’s paintings, this biography traces the artist’s life and work, from his student days at King Edward Technical College in Dunedin through learning from Toss Woollaston and on to his adult life working at the Auckland Art Gallery and Elam School of Fine Art. Analyzing key aspects of the paintings—the role of the bible, the idea of the promised land, and the use of words and numbers—this consideration provides a fresh understanding of the subject, exploring his various studios, his involvement with the theater, and his life at home. Penned by a trusted friend, this narrative draws on a personal relationship and on many years of discussion on the relevance of McCahon's creations, offering a vivid new portrait of New Zealand’s most distinguished artist.

Download or read book No Idols written by Thomas E. Crow and published by Power Publications, Sydney. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in the new Power Polemics series, Thomas Crow's No Idols: The Missing Theology of Art turns away from contemporary cultural theories to face a pervading blindspot in today's art-historical inquiry: religion. Crow pursues a perhaps unpopular notion of Christianity's continued presence in modern abstract art and in the process makes a case for art's own terrain of theology: one that eschews idolatry by means of abstraction. Tracking the original anti-idolatry controversy of the Jansenists, anchored in a humble still life by Chardin, No Idols sets the scene for the development of an art of reflection rather than representation, and divinity without doctrine. Crow's reinstatement of the metaphysical is made through the work of New Zealand artist Colin McCahon and American artists Mark Rothko, Robert Smithson, James Turrell, and Sister Mary Corita Kent. While a tightly selected group of artists, in their collective statute the author explores the proposal that spiritual art, as opposed to "a simulacrum of one," is conceivable for our own time.
