Opis

Dumile Feni was one of Africa's greatest twentieth century artists--painter, sculptor, poet, and nascent filmmaker too. He left South Africa in his mid-twenties, already successful as an artist, and lived in exile in London and New York, exhibiting his paintings and sculptures widely, in both solo and group exhibitions. Dumile traveled and exhibited in China, Nigeria, the United States, and the United Kingdom. His work often conveyed human emotion--suffering and pain, including people contorted with anguish, as well as great tenderness and dignity. His death in exile was a great loss to African art. He never returned to South Africa to experience its freedom. This lavishly illustrated, full-color book is the most comprehensive collection of Dumile's work to date. Prince Mbusi Dube is the education curator at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and also the curator of the Dumile Feni Retrospective.
