COLIN McCAHQN'S PAINTINGS
Sir,-I did not see the exhibition of Colin McCahon’s paintings in Wellington recently, but I saw some of his work at the Group Show, Christchurch, last November. The Annunciation and Deposition paintings were shown. I was glad "J.C.B." wished there were a church in New Zealand alive enough to buy some of Colin McCahon’s paintings. He is a courageous painter who renounces ° honestly what is not essential to him. Artists, as Colin McCahon is in relation
to New Zealand, expressed themselveg powerfully before Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and others in later centuries. Colin McCahon lives to-day, a traditional painter in his way in a different era. There is plenty of correct drawing in*New Zealand. When shall we know, with a simple vision, what Colin McCahon portrays, humility and devotion in time and space sense?
