Beschrijving
The second of an extraordinary two-volume work chronicling forty-five years of painting by our most important artist, Colin McCahon.
'Colin McCahon: There is Only One Direction. Vol 1. 1919-1959 belongs in every New Zealand home. With more than 300 illustrations, it is an alluring and profound coffee-table book. But for its real readers, it will be a wonderfully responsive and permanent triumph.' - David Herkt, Weekend Herald, 'This is an excellent, scrupulously annotated and engagingly written book ... and the perfect gift for that loner at the cocktail party nursing a drink after, even if only in jest, having said Colin McCahon was overrated.' - Graham Reid, Elsewhere
