Merest trace of foxing to boards and edges. Very good condition. "An up-to-date, absorbing story of pictures, people and events and the roles they have played in the modern history of South African art. The story opens in the second half of the 19th century. As the narrative unfolds, it charts the course of modern South African painting, from the descriptive records of the 'Africana painters' through the various experimental forms of modernism, to the revisionist perceptions of end-of-the-century South Africa." .
