Entries (RSS) David Goldblatt: Some Afrikaners Revisited
|
David Goldblatt’s work reflects a life-long exploration of the relationship between individual South Africans and the society they live in. His first extended photographic essay was compiled in the 1960’s. When finally published in 1975 as Some Afrikaners Photographed, the book angered some and left others cold. Eventually most of the small printrun had to be sold off for a song. Considered as a one of the major photographic works in this genre, Some Afrikaners Photographed was never reprinted and is almost impossible to obtain. Some Afrikaners Revisited offers an additional twenty images from the period which were not included in the original book, notes on Goldblatt on how both books came into being, a contextualizing essay by Ivor Powell and Antjie Krog’s impressionistic response to the images.
