SIX DRAWING LESSONS

187pp., b/w & colour illus., hardback, d.w., Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2014

The published version of the six Charles Eliot Norton Lectures William Kentridge presented at Harvard University in 2012.
The six lectures are:"In Praise of Shadows", "A Brief History of Colonial Revolts", "Vertical Thinking: a Johannesburg biography", "Practical Epistemology: life in the studio", "In Praise of Mistranslation" and "Anti-Entrophy".

"The book is a vortex of thinking. You won’t emerge from it able to draw, but you might have gained rich insights into some of the toing and froing, some of the complicated unsettling realities that comprise the working methodologies of this, arguably South Africa’s most well-known visual artist."
