Publication.Pdf 1 NEWTON I, 1960–64 In 1960 McCahon and his family moved from Titirangi to the inner- city suburb of Newton, in those days a predominantly working-class and Polynesian neighbourhood. The award of the first Hay’s Art Prize to McCahon for Painting (1958), a radical abstract, caused a furore in newspapers and much unwelcome negative publicity for the artist. After a year of little painting, he embarked on the Gate series (including Here I give thanks to Mondrian, p. 10), an important new series of geometrical abstractions, exhibited at The Gallery (Symonds Street, Auckland) in 1961; a further extension of the series was the sixteen-panel The Second Gate Series (1962, pp. 51–53), a collaboration with John Caselberg (who supplied the Old Testament texts) which addressed the threat of nuclear annihilation; it was exhibited in Christchurch with other work in 1962. Lack of critical enthusiasm for this abstract/text work led McCahon to reconsider his direction, resulting in a ‘return’ (his word) to landscape painting in a large open Northland series (1962, p. 33, 59) and Landscape theme and variations (1963, pp. 60–61), two eight- panel series, exhibited at The Gallery simultaneously with a joint Woollaston/McCahon retrospective at Auckland City Art Gallery. In 1964, after twelve years at Auckland City Art Gallery, McCahon resigned to join the staff of Auckland University’s Elam School of Fine Arts, where he taught from 1964 to 1971. His first exhibition after joining Elam, Small Landscapes and Waterfalls (Ikon Fine Arts, 1964), proved to be both aesthetically and commercially successful. 10 Partridge Street The McCahons’ move from Titirangi to inner-city Auckland in Colin McCahon helping to install Jacob Epstein’s March 1960 was welcomed by the whole family.

Prior to later Volume One, p. 268) – Tomory’s choice – works as different from ‘gentrification’, Newton and nearby Grey Lynn were working-class each other as the proverbial chalk and cheese. But it was McCahon’s and student neighbourhoods with a large Polynesian population work which caused the controversy. J. N. K. (Nelson Kenny), an which McCahon actively enjoyed.

McCahon wrote Partridge Street painting, McCahon commented: bitterly to Brasch: ‘I have about 100 quite devastating cuttings from all over N.Z. which I am keeping for when I eventually manage The painting reflects the change I felt in moving from to leave N.Z. for good – to remind me in times of homesickness Titirangi with its thick native bush and the view of of what to expect should I return. (The Auckland Star reproduced French Bay to that of the urban environment. This picture the picture on its side.)’7 This ugly brouhaha interfered with belongs to a whole lot of paintings that were, believe it or his painting: ‘No painting to report[;] am having a long dry spell. not, based on the landscape I saw through the bedroom For the first time ever I have been really depressed with constant window. This also applies to the Gate paintings . .2 bad reviews.’8 Alarmed by McCahon’s talk of wanting to leave the country, Before the Gate series arrived, however, McCahon experienced one Brasch wrote a long, sympathetic reply, imploring him to ignore of those unproductive spells which occurred when he moved to a newspaper criticism: ‘It’s worthless, nearly all of it, as you know. new place. He told O’Reilly: ‘Have had one of those periods when I agree it’s infinitely depressing to read, and hurtful when you’re I couldn’t break through at all.’3 The Online Catalogue lists only a consistently misunderstood, misrepresented, sneered at. But, Colin, handful of works for 1960. you must realise that in spite of it you have a large following and a As always, McCahon was very busy at Auckland City Art reputation second to none.’ He was sceptical about the likelihood of Gallery, in his role as keeper and deputy director, mostly organising McCahon’s succeeding abroad: ‘Will you really do better in another exhibitions such as the first of a historically important annual country (where – England? America?), as one among many, most of series of touring shows, Contemporary New Zealand Painting and them better known and better established?’ Furthermore, ‘are you Sculpture (1960). McCahon was represented by six works from sure that you’d be able to paint in another country, do you realize 1959, including Cross and four Elias paintings. He was excited about how your work grows out of N.Z.?’ He concluded: ‘I should hate the exhibition, telling O’Reilly that it completely outclassed the this country to lose you . Although I can’t always follow you, gallery’s Auckland Festival show: ‘. a huge Australian exhibition you’re still the first N.Z. painter to me’.9 McCahon was appreciative which sadly flopped – but rightly – it followed immediately on our of such caring concern: ‘Thank you for your kindly & reassuring Contemporary N.Z. ex. and just didn’t measure up . This was letter. I most certainly would be off tomorrow if I could but as you (with the N.Z. show) the first time some real pride and enthusiasm know am so well tied down I must remain here for years to come.’10 seemed to develop around N.Z. painting.’4 This positive mood was Troubled by the buckets of disparaging criticism being dumped sustained through the 1960s, especially in Auckland. on his friend, Woollaston published an impressive defence of the derided painting in the Press. He began: ‘In view of the unpleasant Hay’s Art Competition, 1960 nature of much of the criticism Colin McCahon’s “Painting” During 1960 McCahon was at the centre of a newspaper furore when has received, I feel the need to make some amends to the artist his Painting (1958) was made a joint winner of the first Hay’s Art concerned’. After seven detailed paragraphs describing the forms, Competition award in Christchurch. Three judges, John Simpson structure and colour of the painting, he continued: 22 I would say that, if the picture has a subject, a ‘meaning’ as people like to say, it would be of such a kind as to make necessary the extreme abstinence from representation that we find in it. It is too close to the unutterable for easy verbal communication: its subject is too disconcerting to allow many people to indulge in the easy response of ‘I like it’, which unfortunately is all that most people will allow of themselves for painting.11 McCahon was grateful: ‘But thank you for the words on “Painting” . No, I object to nothing there. I just wish it wasn’t necessary for these things to happen at all and am certainly glad I’m not in Chch . New paintings are much more difficult. The citizens of Chch are lucky they can’t see these ones.’12 By then the dry spell was over and he was hard at work on the highly innovative Gate series. The controversy about Painting (1958) expanded when William Baverstock, the ultra-reactionary director of the McDougall Art Gallery (already notorious for his role – as Canterbury Society of Arts (CSA) secretary – in the Pleasure Garden affair in 1948), successfully advised the City Council not to accept the donation by Hay’s Ltd of any of the winners, especially McCahon’s, on the grounds that it was ‘not art but the negation of art’, a decision loudly condemned by the art community in Christchurch, including W. A. Sutton, Doris Lusk, Leo Bensemann, John Coley and E. N. (Ted) Bracey, who all wrote letters to the Press. Bensemann pointedly contrasted the Auckland City Art Gallery’s role as a ‘vital force in the art affairs of this country’ with the McDougall’s moribund status.13 The Gate series By March 1961 McCahon had finally moved on, telling Caselberg about ‘the stream of present painting which is happening again at last’.14 Caselberg – who had recently married seventeen-year-old Anna Woollaston in Auckland – was awarded the Burns Fellowship at Otago University for 1961; he planned to write a large sequence of verse plays about early New Zealand history and race conflict; for years he involved McCahon – as an experienced theatre person – in lengthy communications about them.

Cover: lot 256, Dennis Knight Turner, Exhibition Thoughts on the Bev & Murray Gow Collection from John Gow and Ben Plumbly I remember vividly when I was twelve years old, hopping in the car with Dad, heading down the dusty rural Te Miro Road to Cambridge to meet the train from Auckland. There was a special package on this train, a painting that my parents had bought and I recall the ceremony of unwrapping and Mum and Dad’s obvious delight, but being completely perplexed by this ‘artwork’. Now I look at the Woollaston watercolour and think how farsighted they were. Dad’s love of art was fostered at Auckland University through meeting Diane McKegg (nee Henderson), the daughter of Louise Henderson. As a student he subsequently bought his first painting from Louise, an oil on paper, Rooftops Newmarket. After marrying Beverley South, their mutual interest in the arts ensured the collection’s growth. They visited exhibitions in the Waikato and Auckland and because Mother was a soprano soloist, and a member of the Hamilton Civic Bev and Murray Gow Choir, concert trips to Auckland, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Gisborne and other centres were in their Orakei home involved.

  • Mccahon, Abstraction and Transversal Art History
    Let Us Possess One World: McCahon, Abstraction and Transversal Art History LUKE SMYTHE Abstract Since McCahon’s death in 1987, the art world has become more diverse, and so too has his circle of admirers. One reason for his work’s appeal to a diverse audience, I argue, is his impure approach to abstraction. This at once makes his paintings more accessible than they would be were they purely abstract, and allows viewers to find their own meanings in his art. To show how this is so, I consider the responses to McCahon’s work of five New Zealand abstract painters: Gretchen Albrecht, Stephen Bambury, Brent Harris, Ralph Hotere and Imogen Taylor. If one word could encompass the changes that have occurred in the New Zealand art world since McCahon stopped painting in the early 1980s, “differentiation” would be a strong contender. In the intervening decades, the cultural authority of traditional art mediums, like painting and sculpture, has declined, and a host of alternative practices have become more viable. The institutional dominance of white male artists, dealers, writers, curators and administrators has likewise diminished, in some of these professions sharply. The result is a more diverse creative landscape and a network of supporting institutions that while not yet as inclusive as they could be, have certainly improved in this regard. In the wake of these developments, aspects of McCahon’s life, his work and his legacy have come to seem outdated or problematic by current lights. Already in the 1970s, his engagements with te reo and te

  • Russia in Landfall Under Charles Brasch
    New Zealand Slavonic Journal, vol. 41 (2007) Olivia Eaton & Jacob Edmond (University of Otago) RUSSIA IN LANDFALL UNDER CHARLES BRASCH The literary journal Landfall under its founding editor and patron Charles Brasch has been seen as a singularly important vehicle for the development of a sense of New Zealand artistic, literary, and cultural identity during the post-war period from 1947 to 1966. Brasch clearly envisaged an important role for Landfall in the development of a national culture, and existing scholarship on the journal has tended to concentrate on this national agenda, in part reflecting the success of Brasch’s project.1 Scholarship to date has as a result tended largely to ignore an equally important factor in the journal under Brasch’s editorship: its internationalism, which extended well beyond the appeal to English and European traditions thus far noted.2 Evidenced in a number of ways, including his Commonwealth letters and his inclusion of a significant amount of material relating to China, Brasch’s internationalist focus in Landfall is perhaps most clearly exemplified by the important but generally unacknowledged role of Russia. It is well known that Brasch had a special interest in Russia. He travelled to Russia in 1934 and later in life, after retiring from the editorship of Landfall in 1966, he studied Russian at the University of 1 For discussions of Brasch’s Landfall in relation to the creation of a sense of New Zealand arts and culture, see, for example, James Bertram, ‘Charles Brasch in Perspective’, Turnbull Library Record (May 1979): pp. 29–36; John W.
