Bog beskrivelse

A richly illustrated monograph chronicling the life and work of Esther Mahlangu—an artistic visionary who shattered convention, reimagined tradition and painted her way into the global spotlight

This timely and visually striking volume offers a long-overdue exploration of Dr. Esther Mahlangu (born 1935), the internationally acclaimed South African artist whose practice defies divisions between "traditional" and "contemporary" art. Grounded in the visual language of her Ndebele heritage, Mahlangu transforms this lineage into a powerful tool for self-expression and global dialogue. She has exhibited at major institutions, including the Centre Pompidou and Louvre Abu Dhabi, and in 1991 became the first woman and African artist commissioned to create a BMW Art Car—joining a legacy that includes Andy Warhol and David Hockney. Mahlangu expands painting''s role in contemporary life, from monumental murals to brand collaborations. The Esther Mahlangu Handbook positions her work firmly within contemporary discourse, rejecting reductive categorizations of her practice as "folk" or "ethnographic," and affirming her place in the global art historical canon—as a trailblazing visual artist and beloved cultural ambassador of the Ndebele nation.
