"New Yorker" profiled South African artist William Kentridge in January. It demonstrated the origin, development and the depth of the great Kentridge. I was most affected by a quote of his:
I have never tried to make illustrations of apartheid, but the drawings and films are certainly spawned by and feed off the brutalized society left in its wake. I am interested in a political art, that is to say an art of ambiguity, contradiction, uncompleted gestures, and certain endings; an art (and a politics) in which optimism is kept in check and nihilism at bay. - William Kentridge
