- Colin McCahon: Is This the Promised Land?: Vol.2 1960-1987
2
The second of an extraordinary two-volume 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, abstraction, and 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 Dr Peter Simpson chronicles the evolution of the artist's work over McCahon'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. These books will be the definitive work on New Zealand's leading artist for many years to come.
Peter Simpson
Peter Simpson has spent a lifetime studying the history of his native England after graduating from the University of Kent with a B.A. in the subject. His experiences in global business and travel have allowed him to explain the science, technology and business developments of the Middle Ages while his interest in art and architecture brings a sensitive interpretation to the aesthetics of the time. He is a member of the Medieval Academy of America. In writing this series of books on England in the High Middle Ages he has set out to bring this formative period of the British State to scholars, students and the general history reader. Peter and his wife Donna own and manage a specialized Market Research and Consulting firm and live in Lewiston, New York and Estero, Florida with a collection of cats.
