Victory over Death

The Art of Colin McCahon

About this book

A profound exploration of Colin McCahon's art and its enduring legacy.

Victory over Death: The Art of Colin McCahon delves into the work of New Zealand painter Colin McCahon, examining his quest for artistic immortality in a culturally isolated landscape. This book explores how McCahon, like Jesus, sought to transcend death through his art, making his work a form of religious transmission. Through the lens of McCahon's iconic painting, Victory over death 2, the authors uncover the artist's profound insights into the relationship between art, artist, and audience.

This book is for art historians, theorists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of McCahon's contribution to Australasian art. Discover the small miracle of art and its power to grant eternal life to both the artist and its audience. Explore the themes of artistic legacy, religious transmission, and the enduring power of art to speak across generations.
