About This Item
(Cape Town: Human & Rousseau / Johannesburg: Johannesburg Art Gallery, 1997) 0798136588. 4to; original maroon boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 191, incl. index; liberally illustrated in full colour with examples of the artists' work. Some foxing to reverse of dustwrapper, endpapers and top edge. Very good condition. "The aim of Land and Lives is to explore urban art created by early black artists in South Africa. In spite of the history of this period, one of conflict and deprivation, they claimed a place with pencil, pen, brush or chisel. This remarkable study is an invaluable contribution to the art history of South Africa and pays homage to the artists' creative power." .
