Elements of modernism in Colin McCahon's early work
No full textTHIS ESSAY IS the text of a lecture by Gordon H. Brown, on aspects of Modernism in the early work of Colin McCahon, which was delivered on 12 December 2002 at the City Gallery in Wellington. It marked three very special occasions. Firstly the lecture was scheduled on the day after Gordon H. Brown was awarded his Honorary Doctorate of Literature by Victoria University for his services to Art History in New Zealand. What better way to commemorate this event than to enable McCahon's friend and exegete to peak on his specialist subject, to reveal , in new and nuanced ways , his intimate knowledge of the artist's life and work? Secondly, what better venue than the City Gallery, Wellington, where a major exhibition of McCahon 's work (Colin McCahon : A Question of Faith) - the first staged by and for a European audience - had just opened, having returned from the institution that had organised it, Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum? And thirdly, the serendipity of these two events lent special weight to our decision to seize this opportunity to present Brown's lecture as Victoria University's inaugural Art History Lecture, which we hope to continue and to publish as one of our contributions to the development of the history of art in this country

BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

The Strand
Get PDFThis is a collaborative project (2005) bringing together the creative visions of the artists: Prof. Kim, Song Yeol from Pai-Chai University, Dae Jeon, South Korea and Dr. Gordon James Brown from James Cook University, Townsville, Australia.
The project is the creation of an artists' book, "The Strand", featuring twenty-nine hand-printed original etchings taken from lino blocks in a limited edition of six hand-bound books. Each page of the book shows the collaboration of the two artists in portraying cultural differences and congruence regarding their perception of the Strand—a road and walkway leading around the shoreline of Townsville.
Each book is bound in cloth by the master book binders, F. & R. Pohlmann. The etchings are printed on BFK Reeves Crème paper with ten single pages, two gate-fold pages, a title page and a colophon page. Size dimensions for The Strand is 37 x 40.5 cm
