Synopsis
David Goldblatt (1930–2018) began working on Some Afrikaners Photographed (1975) in 1963. He had sold his father’s clothing store where he worked, and become a full-time photographer. The ruling Afrikaner National Party―many of its leaders and members had supported the Nazis in the World War II―was firming its grip on the country in the face of black resistance. Yet Goldblatt was drawn not to the events of the time but to “the quiet and commonplace where nothing ‘happened’ and yet all was contained and immanent.” Making these photos he explored his ambivalence toward the Afrikaners he knew from his father’s store. Most, he guessed, were National Party voters, yet he experienced them as “austere, upright, unaffected people of rare generosity of spirit and earthy humor.” Their potency and contradictions moved and disturbed him; their influence pervaded his life. The book includes an essay by famed South African writer Antjie Krog.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Goldblatt began working on Some Afrikaners Photographed, first published in 1975, in 1963. He had sold his father's clothing store where he worked, and become a full-time photographer. The ruling Afrikaner National Party-many of its leaders and members had supported the Nazis in the Second World War-was firming its grip on the country in the face of black resistance. Yet Goldblatt was drawn not to theevents of the time but to "the quiet and commonplace where nothing 'happened' and yet all was con-tained and immanent." Through these photos he explored his ambivalence towards the Afrikaners he knew from his father's store. Most, he guessed, were National Party voters, yet he experienced them as "austere, upright, unaffected people of rare generosity of spirit and earthy humor." Their potency and contradictions moved and disturbed him; their influence pervaded his life.The book includes an essay by South African writer Antjie Krog: "Three kinds of Afrikaners look out at us from these photographs," she writes, "of which the poor Afrikaner is the most haunting-the simple one who, by the sweat of his brow, eats his bread in isolation." Art critic Ivor Powell charts the outraged reaction of the Afrikaner media towards photos that showed rural Afrikaners at a time when the Afrikaner elite was trying to establish itself on the international stage, as well as his own reaction to the original book: "It was all but incandescent with tension and revelation, with a sense of souls being held up to scrutiny, of skins being peeled away." In 1963, as the ruling Afrikaner National Party was firming its grip on the country in the face of black resistance, South African photographer Goldblatt was drawn to "the quiet and commonplace where nothing 'happened' and yet all was contained and immanent." This collection includes an essay by South African writer Krog. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9783958295513

hardcover. Condition: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Testi di Antjie Krog, Ivor Powell, David Goldblatt. 109 fotografie in bianco e nero di David Goldblatt . Cm 28x26. pp. 240. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Goldblatt iniziò a lavorare a Some Afrikaners photographed, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1975, nel 1963. Aveva venduto il negozio di abbigliamento del padre dove lavorava ed era diventato fotografo a tempo pieno. L'Afrikaner National Party al potere - molti dei suoi leader e membri avevano sostenuto i nazisti nella Seconda guerra mondiale - stava consolidando la sua presa sul Paese di fronte alla resistenza dei neri. Tuttavia, Goldblatt non era attratto dagli eventi dell'epoca, ma "dalla quiete e dal luogo comune in cui nulla 'accadeva' eppure tutto era contenuto e immanente". Attraverso queste foto esplorò la sua ambivalenza nei confronti degli afrikaners che conosceva dal negozio del padre. La maggior parte di loro, secondo lui, erano elettori del National Party, ma lui li ha vissuti come "persone austere, rette, di rara generosità di spirito e umorismo terreno". La loro potenza e le loro contraddizioni lo hanno commosso e disturbato; la loro influenza ha pervaso la sua vita. Book. Seller Inventory # bc_228852
