Bettie Cilliers-Barnard - Towards Infinity (Hardcover)

This is a new monograph on the life and work of one of S Africa's finest 20th-century artists, who turned 91 last year. It is a valuable contribution to our literature on S African art and a timely publication, incorporating and expanding on insights and remarkable materials presented in Prof Muller Ballot's acclaimed 1996 monograph in Afrikaans. It positions artist's work in the broader context of contemporary S African and international art. A doyenne of S. African art has been celebrated as the artist of the mystical, ethereal, infinite, using universal shapes and harmonious colours.
