Painting in South Africa (Used)

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 book 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 the end-of-the-century South Africa. The stylistic developments are dealt with in the context of the local circumstances and environment in which they occurred; they are also viewed against the background of world events and international artistic trends.
