Colin McCahon is the first modern New Zealand painter of major international importance. Particularly since his death in 1987, he has become a legendary figure, with his work and life the subject of much discussion and research. Inspired by the conviction that McCahon deserves to be acknowledged as a major 20th century artist, in August 2002 the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterda, opened the exhibition Colin McCahon - A Question of Faith. This book is both the catalogue for the exhibition, and the most significant publication on McCahon for many years, reproducing 78 paintings and augmented by a further 112 illustrations of artworks and historical photographs.
