Browsing the Colin McCahon Database and Image Library

 

The browse function allows you to scan all of the artwork titles in the database and to select images and data for viewing. The titles are listed alphabetically. Click on the alphabet to view more titles. Click on a title to view all artworks with that title.

 

As there is no subject index to this database, browsing the titles can be a useful way of identifying works. For instance, if you are looking for "religious" artworks you should be able to identify many of these from the titles.
