William Kentridge

"...a persuasive new monograph..."

"...a persuasive new monograph..."

"...presents a formidable argument for Kentridge’s realignment in relation to global culture, providing us with an exhilarating image of what it means to be ‘contemporary up south’, and a more nuanced understanding of Kentridge’s unique body of work."

"By examining the centrality of metaphor to Kentridge’s creative processes, Maltz-Leca weaves a dense tapestry in which individual works from throughout his oeuvre are explicated in terms of the complex ways in which they relate to history, South African history in particular."

Leora Maltz-Leca is Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History and Chair of the History of Art & Visual Culture department at the Rhode Island School of Design.
