Rock Paintings of South Africa: Revealing a Legacy

Rock paintings of South Afirca_1.jpg
Rock Paintings of South Africa: Revealing a Legacy is a visual record for posterity of one of South Africa’s most valuable cultural treasures. Each colour plate represents meticulously painted recording by the author of a rock painting from South Africa. These recordings have been painstakingly rendered with natural pigments and materials collected in the field and are results of months of on-site labour accurately recording what appears on the rock face. The plates reveal a wealth of detail and imagery that is sometimes faded and not clearly visible to the untrained eye or through conventional or digital photography alone. This stunning pictorial celebration of South Africa’s rock art heritage is a magnificent permanent record of one of humanity’s oldest – and most vulnerable – artistic achievements.
