Colin McCahon Ecce Agnus Dei 1969 water-based crayon and wash on paper

Colin McCahon (1919) is New Zealand painter, He creates work by using someone else's text or his own text. I quite like the way how his works speak emotions for example in this work the text and the way how he painted , are quite relate to each other and by using poetry in his work, the style in painting tells the viewer that it is poem.

I like the use of color and the text, for me i read this work as an artwork rather than reading text because i think by adding colors the meaning can be changed.
