William Kentridge In Praise of Shadows

This far-reaching book presents Kentridge’s dynamic art practice which originates in charcoal drawing and expands into intersections with film, sculpture, opera and theater performances, printmaking, and many other mediums. The volume is organized chronologically and thematically, emphasizing Kentridge’s destabilizing of South African and global narratives through openness to uncertainty, the generative power of the artist’s studio, and perpetual change, all as conditions for illuminating repressed and silenced voices in historical records.
