"Featuring some of the most iconic images of our time, this unique combination of photojournalism and commentary offers a probing and comprehensive exploration of the birth, evolution, and demise of apartheid in South Africa. Photographers played an important role in the documentation of apartheid, capturing the system's penetration of even the most mundane aspects of life in South Africa. Included in this vivid and compelling volume are works by photographers such as Eli Weinberg, Alf Kumalo, David Goldblatt, Peter Magubane, Ian Berry, and many others. Organized chronologically, it interweaves images and essays exploring the institutionalization of apartheid through the country's legal apparatus; the growing resistance in the 1950s; and the radicalization of the antiapartheid movement within South Africa and, later, throughout the world. Finally, the book investigates the fall of apartheid, including Mandela's return from exile. Far-reaching and exhaustively researched, this important book features more than 60 years of powerful photographic material that forms part of the historical record of South Africa."; 9.91 X 2.06 X 11.38 inches; 544 pages.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn. With notes, bibliography, chronology and index. Replete with gloriously colorful illustrations of Schreuders' painted wooden sculptures. Big, tall, heavy quarto hardcover format, measuring 11" x 10" tall and wide, respectively. Excellent detail about 70 sculptures along with prints, drawings and pages from the artist's sketchbooks. The publisher blurb says, "This South African artist is known for her distinctive carved and painted wooden sculptures that reflect the ambiguities of the search for a post-apartheid African identity. Her work is influenced by the traditional Blolo and Colon figures of West Africa, as well as other stylistic input from medieval church sculpture, Spanish portraiture, and Egyptian woodcarving. Schreuders' personal history as a white descendent of colonial settlers in South Africa is reflected in these pieces, which are physical representations of human emotions. This book includes beautiful reproductions of Schreuders' works, two in-depth essays and a biography of the artist, making this the definitive volume on one of the pre-eminent South African artists working today."

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Cedric Nunn (Jg. 1957) zählt zu den großen Entdeckungen einer mittleren Generation Fotografen. Das zentrale Thema des Künstlers, der aus einer der ältesten Familien des Landes stammt, ist das soziale Leben in Südafrika, sowohl auf dem Lande als auch in den Metropolen. Nunn dokumentiert die innerpolitischen Auseinandersetzungen der schwarzen Bevölkerung, den Bürgerkrieg der 1980er-Jahre und dessen Auswirkungen. Dabei interessiert ihn die Realität der Apartheid jenseits medial geprägter Bilder und gesellschaftlicher Vorurteile. Über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg begleitete er insbesondere die Menschen in der südafrikanischen Provinz KwaZulu-Natal sowie im Nachbarland Mosambik. Die Publikation zeigt seine Fotografien von den späten 1970er-Jahren bis heute und ermöglicht einen Einblick in eine bislang unbekannte afrikanische Welt. In seinen ästhetisch wie kompositorisch außergewöhnlichen Fotografien verbindet der Künstler selbst härteste Realität mit Poesie. Mit einem Interview des Künstlers durch Okwui Enwezor, dem ehemaligen Documenta-Leiter und jetzigem Direktor des Hauses der Kunst in München. (Text engl., Hatje Cantz) 152 pp. Englisch. …
