Colin McCahon is recognized as one of New Zealand’s foremost painters for his inventive and visionary contribution to art. He lived from 1919 to 1987, his career spanning four decades of the Twentieth Century. His landscapes reflect his environmental concerns, but also a recognition of the raw essence of a young country, and an ability to portray New Zealand in a unique and iconic way. Religious and moral issues are explored throughout McCahon’s work, as evidenced by his use of Christian imagery. Another of McCahon's interests was poetry, and he became the first New Zealand artist to incorporate words and numbers in his work.

Description
An account of the resource
This is one of McCahon's major works of the mid-1970s, along with the <em>Urewera Mural</em>, the <em>Blind</em> series, and the <em>Parihaka Triptych</em>. It has several motivations and triggers. The primary one is the shining cuckoo's song, spoken of in a Maori poem passed on to McCahon by Ralph Hotere who got it from his father. Such gifts often produced an 'answering hark' from McCahon. In this instance he combined the words of the song with several other strands of sign and image - Roman numerals, window frames, misted landscapes in white, gray and pale lemon, abstract panels a la Mark Rothko in his sombre phase. Other elelments come in to play through the talk around the painting. McCahon said he painted it as a memorial for three recently dead poet friends, R.A.K. Mason, Charles Brasch and James K. Baxter. Critics have pointed out the mixture of Maori, Classical and Christian elements, the latter being carried by the numbers 1 to 14, the number of stations of the cross in Catholic liturgy and a major McCahon motif, especially in the mid-1960s. Caselberg wrote an essay 'Colin mcCahon's Panels, "The Song of the Shining Cuckoo'", published in <em>Islands</em> 18 (1977), along with various texts and facsimiles. McCahon gave the work to the Hocken Library as a memorial to his poet friends. This is made explicit in a letter to John Caselberg: <br /> <em>It should be at Hocken. Could you see to this & if Hocken should want to make it a gift, for gifts: to Baxter, Mason, Brasch, please, do. When I start painting for myself I'll die.</em>

Works by Colin McCahon
Description
An account of the resource
Colin McCahon is recognized as one of New Zealand’s foremost painters for his inventive and visionary contribution to art. He lived from 1919 to 1987, his career spanning four decades of the Twentieth Century. His landscapes reflect his environmental concerns, but also a recognition of the raw essence of a young country, and an ability to portray New Zealand in a unique and iconic way. Religious and moral issues are explored throughout McCahon’s work, as evidenced by his use of Christian imagery. Another of McCahon's interests was poetry, and he became the first New Zealand artist to incorporate words and numbers in his work.

Description
An account of the resource
Colin McCahon is recognized as one of New Zealand’s foremost painters for his inventive and visionary contribution to art. He lived from 1919 to 1987, his career spanning four decades of the Twentieth Century. His landscapes reflect his environmental concerns, but also a recognition of the raw essence of a young country, and an ability to portray New Zealand in a unique and iconic way. Religious and moral issues are explored throughout McCahon’s work, as evidenced by his use of Christian imagery. Another of McCahon's interests was poetry, and he became the first New Zealand artist to incorporate words and numbers in his work.
