Spiro, Lesley : Gerard Sekoto: Unsevered Ties

(Johannesburg: Johannesburg Art Gallery, 1989) 0620142138

ISBN 0620142138

280 x 207 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 99; liberally illustrated, largely in full colour, with reproductions of the artist's works and scenes from his life. Very good condition. Book published for the exhibition GERARD SEKOTO: UNSEVERED TIES. Apart from the illustrated and annotated catalogue of Sekoto works in the exhibition, this book includes a substantial illustrated biography of the artist. "The exhibition and this catalogue are testaments to an era, and to the achievement of Sekoto as an artist working within an environment which offered scant support and recognition. This retrospective exhibition of the work of an artist whose roots are in this country represents the spiritual return of Gerard Sekoto to South Africa. Now living in the Maison des Artistes on the outskirts of Paris, his room cluttered with the paraphernalia of an artists' studio, Sekoto, a quiet, charming and dignified man, holds a philosophical view of the fact that he will not personally be present to see the amassed product of his artistic life. He gains the obvious satisfaction of knowing that within his lifetime his contribution is being recognised and chronicled, and the irony that this should happen forty-two years after his departure from his motherland is one he acknowledges with grace and quiet acceptance."
