Description

"In the history of printmaking, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) and William Kentridge (b. 1955) are two of the most outstanding protagonists of an exquisitely nuanced art of black and white. Double Vision unites, in spite of their cultural differences and a gap of five centuries, the works of the German Renaissance artist par excellence and South Africa's most renowned contemporary artist in a lively dialogue. This richly illustrated book offers insights into the diversity and differences of both artists' prints, as well as the many surprising similarities they share. Each printmaker's artistic strategies and visual forms of expression are explained in detail, showing how they find their images and relate their stories in times of political and social upheaval"--Back cover.
