Gordon H Brown (born 1931) first met Colin McCahon (1919 1987), considered New Zealand s greatest 20th-century artist, at McCahon s Christchurch home in 1952. As a first-year art student and with a letter of introduction from poet James K Baxter, Brown engaged McCahon s attention by commenting on an obvious interest in Cubism in a painting that lent against a sofa in the living room. Thus, began a close life-long friendship. Colin John McCahon (1 August 1919 27 May 1987) was a prominent New Zealand artist whose work over forty-five years consisted of various styles including landscape, figuration, abstraction and the overlay of painted text. Along with Toss Woollaston and Rita Angus, McCahon is credited with introducing modernism to New Zealand in the mid twentieth century. He is regarded as New Zealand's most important modern artist, particularly in his landscape work. 238 pages, illustrated. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.
