Saturday 6 June, 10 am - 11 am, McCahon House Museum, 67 Otitori Bay Road, Titirangi

Colin McCahon lived in Titirangi from 1953 to 1959, a formative period during which he produced many significant works. These paintings were deeply influenced by the surrounding environment and the personal and creative connections he developed at the time.

Colin McCahon: The Titirangi Years 1953–59, a publication by Dr Peter Simpson, explores this pivotal chapter in the career of one of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Simpson to the McCahon House Museum, where he will share insights into this important phase of McCahon’s practice, with particular emphasis on the significance of the Waitākere Ranges and Manukau Harbour to his work. Spaces for this event are limited. To secure your place, please RSVP to mccahon@mccahonhouse.org.nz by Wednesday 27 May.
