Colin McCahon (1919-87), New Zealand’s greatest painter, has an ever-growing reputation throughout the world.  This website documents and celebrates one portion of this rich career—the years from 1953 to 1960 when McCahon lived in the hilly bush-suburb of Titirangi by the Manukau Harbour on the outskirts of Auckland city.
