ART SOUTH AFRICA
Painting focus for spring
"Painting is unforgiving, instantly revealing levels of integrity, which can be veiled in other mediums," states Lisa Brice in an interview with fellow painter Godfried Donkor in the spring edition of Art South Africa.
SNAPPED
Taking its cue from Paul Schmulbach's 1974 picture of paparazzi photographer Ron Galella stalking actor Marlon Brando, the new issue of Snapped asks a simple question: Has Nelson Mandela ever wanted to land a five-finger sandwich on a photographer's mug? Likely not, but being one of the most photographed people in the world he has every reason to want to. Snapped explores the camera's relationship to and with Mandela, as narrated by a diversity of famous voices.

we've got more short stories than ever - they need a nice chunk of
time, a wee bit of concentration (don't be distracted by RSS feeds or
the like) and a cup of tea at your side... Yummy... You might want to
dim the lights or close the blinds to view the selection of surreal and
esoteric short films... Slip on your headphones and close your eyes for
an underwater sound adventure... And open them again to drink up the
variety of visual artworks and photography... Dip into the poetry if
you only have a few minutes to spare, and come back when you have more
time for the rest... The wide variety of works assembled here explore
the silence, absence, hesitation and irony that is ... Enjoy...

Sean O'Toole
Writing in the December 2008 issue of Art South Africa, art historian Marilyn Martin lamented "the dearth of texts by artists" in recent times. The March 2010 edition of Art South Africa, which will be launched in Cape Town at Design Indaba Expo(February 26-28, stand B11), directly addresses this absence.
The most complete and up-to-date monograph on the celebrated painter's work.
Editor: Dominic van den Boogerd
Marlene Dumas is celebrated around the world for her highly charged depictions of the human form. In her oil paintings, drawings and watercolours she captures the body in all its states, from pain to pleasure, eroticism to pathos, birth to death. These works often focus on the body as a contested site with regard to issues such as race, pornography and illegal immigration, but they also address such timeless themes as mortality, sexuality and childhood. Above all, they express a boundless faith in the power of painting to communicate complex psychological realities with eloquence and humour.
