Description
First published in Johannesburg in 1938 by Radford, Adlington, this illustrated monograph examines the life and sculpture of Anton van Wouw (1862–1945), the Dutch-born artist widely regarded as a pioneer of South African sculpture. Van Wouw is known for his realistic bronze figures depicting a range of South African subjects, including Boer figures and African mineworkers. His works combine close observation of human form with attention to the character and circumstances of his subjects, providing an important visual record of South African society during a period of significant historical change. This book is a valuable reference for collectors and readers interested in South African art, sculpture and cultural history.
