Alexander\'s book became the standard work on its subject when it first appeared almost half-a-century ago and it remains a valuable reference to the leading South African painters and sculptures of the first six decades of the twentieth century - they trip of the tongue: Wenning, Pierneef, Naude, Stern, Laubser, Kibel, Welz, Battiss, Sumner, Higgs, Preller, Van Essche and a few others, each of whom was accorded a colour plate.
This copy is marred by brown tape stains remaining after the book was encased in plastic, but is otherwise attractive. Edge-chipped dustjacket, blue cloth-boards (not inspected because of the plastic), plain endpapers, 172 pp of illustrated text and index + 16 inserted colour plates.
