Description

At work in 1945 ... McCahon saw some men putting up two power poles with a connecting beam against a brilliant light-white flecked sky - ‘the nearest thing I am likely to see to a crucifixion group’ ... the germ of an idea … enabled the expression of a universal human experience in local terms. Luit Bieringa, McCahon: ‘Religious’ Works 1946-1952, 1975
