Summary
Drawing on a series of interviews with Gerard Sekoto and on Sekoto's extensive correspondence with art historian Barbara Lindop, this book explores the life of an artist who left South Africa for exile in France in order to remain true… to his creative talents. This narrative of exile explores the impact on Sekoto's artistic output, specifically on scenes from his native South Africa, of the artist's tenuous relation to his adopted environment and his dependence on memory. 1996.
