Art and Artists of South Africa

the long version

"Esmé Berman's *Art & Artists of South Africa* is the most comprehensive reference work on South African art yet published. Ever since the release of its record- breaking First Edition in 1970, it has been critically acclaimed, repeatedly reprinted and nationally and internationally acknowledged as the standard work on the subject. Successive editions have expanded prodigiously on the original scholarly foundation. Progressively enlarged and updated between 1970 and 1993, the book's 612 pages encompass information on all facets of South African art during the 20th Century." - from the dust jacket of the 2010 Classic edition.
