Condizione: new. Principally a portrait painter, Sandra found a small studio in Kloof Street and began to paint the people and places in District Six. For a young unaccompanied yet headstrong white woman, this was considered a highly dangerous if not foolhardy pastime, but the community - skollies included - welcomed and protected her - calling her 'onse artist'. In 1966, under the Group Areas Act of 1950, District Six was declared a white area by the Nationalist government. Between 1966 and 1982 approximately 60,000 people were evicted from District Six. Communities were broken up, families separated and immense heartbreak suffered - in particular by the elderly inhabitants of District Six, many of whom never adjusted to being forced to settle in remote areas of the sandy, inhospitable Cape Flats. Sandra painted in District Six from 1962 to 1980, both before and after the declaration. She witnessed the removals and the breakdown of a life and community that she had grown to love. Her story is at once inspiring and tragic. Living alone and desperately short of money, Sandra often sold her works on completion just to survive, or simply gave them away.Dolores Fleischer reveals in this significant book how Sandra McGregor accomplished so much both as a painter and an individual but with little recognition. In Sandra McGregor - 'Onse Artist' in District Six she records the artist's life and work in the context of South Africa's struggle for political freedom. Sandra's story is one of many, one window onto the reality of District Six, and a personal and poignant view of a place and its people, expressed through her experiences and her paintings. Principally a portrait painter, Sandra found a small studio in Kloof Street and began to paint the people and places in District Six.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Like Monet, who was his first inspiration, Moses Tladi was a gardener and an artist. Born in remote Sekhukuneland, east of Pretoria, South Africa, the son of a medicine-man who made a living by working in iron and a mother who was a gifted potter, Tladi in his early childhood herded cattle in the dramatic hill-country around his home. His parents had become "believers" under the influence of the Berlin Missionary Society and he was educated at the Lobethal mission, at ga Phaahla. Tladi, like many young men of the time, went to the cities in search of work. It is not known how he encountered Herbert Read, but in the mid 1920's he found employment in Johannesburg as gardener to Read at his property in the fashionable suburb of Parktown. Tladi's talent was discovered by Herbert Read's daughters who were schoolgirls in the mid-1920's. Read took Tladi under his wing, and introduced him to the collector and philanthropist Howard Pim. Read and Pim promoted Tladi at public exhibitions from 1929 onwards. Pim died in 1934, but Tladi continued to flourish, with Read as his patron until the outbreak of World War II.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Bruce Murray Arnott: Into the Megatext provides the first comprehensive overview of one of South Africas most significant sculptors. His influence as an artist, scholar, designer, curator, and educator runs deep; intuited through the work of many of South Africas leading contemporary scholars and practitioners in the visual arts.Through an intrinsic understanding of the human condition, and the balancing of the intellect with creative endeavour, Arnott bridges continents, space, and time. This is reflected in the monumental scope of references embedded in his work, and in his view that "All sculptures are 'points of entry' into the great sculptural megatext." Similarly inspired by history, mythology, psychology, philosophy, education, ecology, and sustainable design, this publication serves as one such point of entry.It includes contributions by a range of authors who delve into different aspects of Arnotts lifes work; a selection of Arnotts own writings, chosen to represent the breadth and depth of his oeuvre; a chronological catalogue of Arnotts sculptures from 1961 to 2018; and a visual timeline that contextualises his long and multi-faceted career.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Many books are written about trees, but few give a complete picture. What do they look like? Where do they come from? How do they grow? What are their uses for man, animals, birds and insects? How have their names changed over time? South African Flowering Trees - a botanical adventure through history acknowledges the many brave and resourceful early plant collectors and explorers, whose intense interest has contributed to what we know today. The histories in this volume refer primarily to the written record, but wherever possible tribal knowledge of trees - passed on by word of mouth - is included, specifically uses for food, fuel, protection, medicine and magic. This book owes its origin to the vision of the late Millicent Frean, a botanist who, in retirement, channelled her formidable energies into botanical art. Sandie Burrows is a qualified horticulturalist and field botanist who has illustrated numerous books, scientific papers, university theses and information brochures. The author, Rob Wood, is a retired banker with a lifelong interest in botany and horticulture, who is now involved with botanical history and bibliography.South African Flowering Trees - a botanical adventure through history will excite anyone interested in South Africa's natural heritage, whether they're botanists, dendrologists, art lovers, Africana enthusiasts, historians, natural historians - or simply curious about their environment. A selection of 25 indigenous South African trees. Full colour plate illustrations with detailed line drawings; A history of these South African trees from earliest written and oral records; Descriptions of seasonal variations; Structure, nomenclature, history and practical uses; Accessible popular terminology. A book to treasure that will delight tree lovers: from those who talk to trees to those who cannot name a tree!

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dreams as R-evolution is both the catalogue for an art installation of the same name, and a work of art itself. The book is a sumptuously-designed record of an exhibit conveying the work of Durban-based artist, Coral Bijoux, landscaped into the spaces of the Westville Plant Nursery.Among the images that open the book is text by the artist that functions as a poem, a warning, and as historical observation. When you want to enslave a people, you steal their ability to dream. Reminiscent of the U.S. Black poet Langston Hughes 1951 lyric, A Dream Deferred, (What happens to a dream deferred/Does it dry up/Like a raisin in the sunOr does it explode?), Bijouxs text prepares us to consider dreaming as an act of insurrection. Dreams as R-evolution is both the catalogue for an art installation of the same name, and a work of art itself. The book is a sumptuously-designed record of an exhibit conveying the work of Durban-based artist, Coral Bijoux, landscaped into the spaces of the Westville Plant Nursery.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback.

But it is much more than that, too. Unpacking the history of the printed press and its imminent demise, hence the books title and the challenges that have and always will face the Fourth Estate, this book is a must-read for any journalist or student of journalism. Tyson also expounds on his vision of the future of credible online journalism and stresses the importance of online news portals and content providers subscribing to the tried-and-tested credos and ethics of leading printed newspaper brands such as The New York Times. Harvey Tyson has followed the dictates of his itch to write for over 70 years. He is probably best remembered for his byline in many respected newspapers, in SA and abroad, when he was a full-time news journalist for 44 years particularly as editor-in-chief of the Johannesburg Star for 16 years in the days of apartheid South Africa.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The the indispensable guide to the life and work of Don Maclennan - one of South Africas most incisive and important poets of the last few decades. No one who encountered Don Maclennan (1929-2009) during the more than three decades of his teaching career at Rhodes University is likely to forget thepiercing appraisal of his blue eyes, the penetration of his questions, or the incisiveness of his opinions.He eventually largely eschewed the pretensions of academic publishing. His favoured medium became the short, pithy talk, rich with original aphorisms on the value of story and poem, and laden with quotations from his favourite writers. And of course poetry. Don published or printed some twenty volumes of poetry, increasingly spare and lapidary, increasingly concerned with his approaching death. Though sometimes disturbing, they above all celebrated the simple fact of being alive, being in love, being sensuous.He knew that there is no other world than this one. There is probably no poetry in South Africas national oeuvre more thoughtfully authentic than his. The the indispensable guide to the life and work of Don Maclennan - one of South Africas most incisive and important poets of the last few decades.
