About This Item
(Johannesburg: Everard Read, 1988) 0620126639. 8vo; original blue boards, lettered in white to spine and upper cover; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; decorative endpapers; pp. xvii + (iii) + 799; plates. Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel, with trace of foxing to reverse; light foxing to endpapers. Very good condition. "THE DICTIONARY OF SOUTH AFRICAN PAINTERS AND SCULPTORS fills an enormous gap in the reference literature on African art. Nowhere else can the reader or researcher find so much up-to-date and easily accessible information on the artists, past and present, of the Southern African region. More than 1800 painters and sculptors are listed alphabetically, the criteria for inclusion being artists who have lived or worked in South Africa/Namibia and who have made a lasting contribution to its artistic life. This broad spectrum takes in the Dutch, English and French pioneers, artists trained overseas who settled or spent some time in the area and the young professionals of today who are products of the established art institutions in the Republic." .
