His sculpture of the head of Victor Smorgon was bought by the National Gallery of Victoria. His work can be found in the collections of the state galleries of Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane. He was appointed an Australian official war artist in 1942.[1] A portrait in oil of F. Matthias Alexander (of "Alexander technique" fame), painted by Colahan to commemorate the subject's 80th birthday, was shown on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow programme in May 2013, when it was still in the possession of the son of the wife of Alexander's nephew.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/colahan-colin-cuthbert-orr-12333|title=Colahan, Colin Cuthbert Orr (1897–1987)|last=Kinnane|first=Garry|work=Australian Dictionary of Biography|accessdate=31 August 2011}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Colahan, Colin}}{{Australia-painter-stub}}2. ^{{Cite episode | title = Stowe House 2 | series = Antiques Roadshow | serieslink = Antiques Roadshow | url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00zjms49 | accessdate = 19 May 2013 | network = BBC Television | date = 19 May 2013 | seriesno = 35 | number = 23 | transcript = | transcripturl = }} 6 : 1897 births|1987 deaths|Australian war artists|World War II artists|20th-century Australian sculptors|20th-century Australian painters |
