Description
The Collector’s Guide to Art and Artists in South Africa – In any book on art it is the works of the artists which speak, of course.
But sometimes the artists talk too.
This book is about both. It is about seeing and listening. It’s about form, colour and harmony. And about thoughts, ideas and notions too. It is not simply a book of compositions but about what makes artists think the way they do. Feast on the pictures. Delight in the colour. And savour what artists have to say about why they paint, chip, sculpt or click the way they do.
There are also mini biographies on the contributors, where they’ve got their training, what they’ve done, where they’ve been and what they are up to. In all, there are 326 artworks in full colour and 358 snapshots of the artists and 558 stories about them.
Enjoy this rare insight into, not just what South African artists are doing, but into what all art is trying to say.
