How it works

Register

Although Pierneef has always been honoured as one of South Africa's most talented and loved artists, there has never been a complete and comprehensive publication on his life and work. From old letters and tributes, many of which are now disclosed for the first time, it becomes obvious that he was a man of many facets. 262pp.

He was born and lived for the greater part of his life in Pretoria. In 1957 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Pretoria and it is therefore not surprising that the initiative for this work came from Prof. D.M.Joubert, vice-chancellor and rector of the University, himself a great art lover and admirer of Pierneef.

Condition: near fine: some light mottling to preliminaries, and very mild flap foxing. Jacket: very good: lightly rubbed, with some blind impressions of writing visible on the front panel. All in all, an excellent copy.
