Visual Century South African Art in Context Volume 4

Andries Walter Oliphant

4.9/5 (26974 ratings)

Description:The end of the Cold War and subsequent rise of globalisation, along with the advent of democracy in South Africa, introduced new social and political orders, with profound implications for South African artists. This was a time when the persistence of economic inequalities and conflicts within and beyond national borders constantly militated against an unbridled celebration of ‘freedom’.The essays in this volume critically address some of the most notable developments and visible trends in post-apartheid South African art. These include South Africa’s entry into the international art world, its struggle to address its past, and artists’ persistent and often provocative preoccupations with individual and collective identity.The widespread and often unsettling representation of the human body, as well as animal forms, along with the steady increase of new technologies and the development of new forms of public art are also discussed. While much of the art of the period is open-ended and nondidactic, the persistence of engagement with socially responsive themes questions the reductive binary between resistance and post-apartheid art that has come to dominate accounts of before and after South Africa’s democratic election.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
