Colin McCahon There Is Only One Direction, Urban Planning and Development The Beautiful and the DamnedThe first of an extraordinary two volume work chronicling forty five years of painting by New Zealands most important artist, Colin McCahon. Colin McCahon (19191987) was New Zealands greatest twentieth century artist.

Collected and exhibited extensively in Australasia and Europe,
