Dear Colin Dear Ron : The Selected Letters Of Colin Mccahon And Ron O'reilly
Paperback Edition: 1
Colin McCahon and Ron O'Reilly met in 1938 and remained close, writing regularly to each other, until McCahon became too unwell to write. Their letters covered McCahon's art practice, the contemporary art scene, ideas, philosophy and the spiritual life.
Dazzling in their range, intensity and candour, the letters track a unique friendship and partnership in art. They are selected by McCahon scholar Peter Simpson and illustrated with works from O'Reilly's own collection, among others. O'Reilly's son Matthew and McCahon's grandson Finn McCahon-Jones contribute insightful essays that round out the unique perspective the letters afford.
