Description: Kentridge, William, Neal Benzara, Staci Boris, Dan Cameron, Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago Ill.), New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York N.Y.), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Contemporary Arts Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and South African National Gallery (2001). William Kentridge. Chicago; New York, Museum of Contemporary Art; New Museum of Contemporary Art: In association with H.N. Abrams [from flap] William Kentridge William Kentridge has won wide acclaim for his deeply personal animated films that focus on the complex and often violent history of his native South Africa. His work is one of the most profound and astonishing testaments to the ravages of apartheid. This sumptuously illustrated volume accompanies the first survey exhibition of Kentridge's work to tour the United States. The essayists focus on his animated films, drawings, and theater productions as they delve into their cultural context as well as the artist's resonant personal concerns. Neal Benezra considers the role of drawing in the artist's creative process. Staci Boris examines landscape and memory as recurrent themes in Kentridge's oeuvre. Lynne Cooke discusses the artist's theatrical works, particularly those that feature Alfred Jarry's celebrated character Ubu. An Sitas reflects on the theme of the procession in Kentridge's films, drawings, theatrical pieces, and sculptures. Also featured is a wide-ranging interview with Kentridge conducted by Dan Cameron. An extensive chronology documents South African political and cultural history since 1948 and incorporates events in Kentridge's life and career. Kentridge has created a remarkable new work especially for this book: a sixteen-page procession of figures marching across the opening pages. Included as well are film sequences drawn directly from the artist's master tapes. Many of Kentridge's most significant works, including charcoal drawings from throughout his career, are reproduced in the extensive plate section. This publication is the definitive study of one of the most important artists of our day. 348 full-color illustrations This book is larger than my scanner so some pages are truncated.
