Colin McCahon: I AM
The story of an artist's single-minded obsession, tinged with
great sadness, unearthed for the first time in the award winning*
television documentary -
Colin McCahon - I AM.
Colin McCahon's paintings are about "Faith" in its broadest sense-
faith that the images on the canvas will transcend the physical
boundaries of the painted
surface and communicate ideas, and spiritual values about
life.
Today, McCahon is revered as a true visionary whose works are now
highly priced and sought after. For his family, friends and
colleagues who tell his story in this compelling documentary, there
is no doubt that he paid a heavy human price for being the pioneer
of New Zealand painting.
McCahon's letters read by Sam Neill.
