COLIN McCAHON - THE MAN AND THE TEACHER

by Agnes Wood

Colin McCahon is recognised as New Zealand's most acclaimed painter. He has also been the most criticised and misunderstood.

In 'Colin McCahon : The Man and the Teacher' Agnes Wood talks to fellow artists and students to give a greater insight than ever before into the character and life of this extraordinary New Zealander. This is not an academic analysis of his work but a look at the life of McCahon and the influence he had on those he worked with and those he taught. As a student of Colin McCahon and a friend of McCahon and his wife Anne, Agnes Wood has been able to provide a unique view of both his teaching and his life.

Richly illustrated throughout with reproductions of McCahon works, paints by well-known former students, and photographs of McCahon himself.
