Early Life and Education

  • Born on August 1, 1919, in Timaru, New Zealand, Colin John McCahon spent much of his childhood in Dunedin.
  • His early artistic inclinations were nurtured by visits to exhibitions and the work of his maternal grandfather, photographer and painter William Ferrier.

Artistic Development and Influences
