WILLIAM KENTRIDGE

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE (1955-)

The visceral work of native South African William Kentridge is steeped in the history and culture of his uneasy homeland. Until the mid 1990s, Kentridge was known primarily in South Africa alone, but he has since attracted considerable interest worldwide. This book, which accompanies the first survey exhibition of his work to tour the United States, consists of in-depth essays, a personal interview, and more than 60 pages of well-produced plates. Kentridge has worked on animated films, in theater productions, and in printmaking, but all of his powerful art is deeply rooted in drawing highly expressive charcoal renderings of dark, uncomfortable images that are both serious and ironic
