In Anatomy of the Studio, world-renowned South African artist William Kentridge (born 1955) passionately discusses his working method. It begins with creative respite: drinking tea, tidying up, and making a list of the lesser good ideas. Sometimes, after many rounds around the worktable, something emerges that deserves further exploration. That’s how they begin, the spectacular works, such as the moving shadow processions in Amsterdam, Rome, Cape Town, and New York, among other places.
Kentridge describes his family background just as engagingly. How his grandfather came to Johannesburg from Latvia as Chain Kantorovich, and his father acted as a judge against
apartheid. How William made his first attempts to connect art and politics in an imaginative way, and how this ultimately led to his studio in
Johannesburg with more than twenty employees.
Anatomy of the Studio is not only a must-read for admirers of his art but also a unique book about the creative process and the role of the artist. IN DUTCH!
