"Art & Artists of South Africa is the most comprehensive reference work on South African art yet published. Its record-breaking first edition, released in 1970, has been acknowledged nationally and internationally as the standard work on the subject.
This New Enlarged Edition expands prodigiously on the original, scholarly foundation. Its 616 pages encompass updated information on every facet of South African art during the past century. In addition to more that 400 biographies on individual artists - 210 of them in depth - there are over 100 articles on museums and institutions, art groups and associations, styles and media, exhibitions and events." - from the front flap
