Burnished
Author: Elizabeth Perrill
Publisher: African Expressive Cultures
ISBN: 9780253061867
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
When Zulu women potters innovate or move to a more urban setting, they are asked why they have abandoned tradition. Yet when they continue to follow convention or choose to stay in rural areas, art historians speak of their work as unchanging symbols of the past. Burnished rejects both stereotypes, giving agency back to the artists. Featuring 90 beautiful color images, Burnished engages directly with specific vessels and artists and fractures assumptions that Zulu ceramicists are insulated from rural transformation and urban realities. Elizabeth Perrill shares the fascinating stories of women potters and the ceramic beer pots they create--their aesthetics, audiences, production, and artistic lives. Simultaneously, Perrill documents the manner in which ceramic arts, and at times the artists themselves, capitalize upon bucolic stereotypes of rural womanhood, are constrained by artistic methods, or chafe against definitions of what qualifies as a Zulu pot. By revealing how White South Africa and global art gatekeepers have continually twisted the designation of Zulu ceramics before, during, and after apartheid, Burnished provides an engaging look at the entrepreneurial artistry of Black women who are often erased from historical records.

Between Union and Liberation
Author: Marion Arnold
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351574124
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The essays collected here investigate art made by women in South Africa between 1910, the year of Union, and 1994, the year of the first democratic election. During this period, complex political circumstances and the impact of modernism in South Africa affected the production of images and objects. The essays explore the ways in which the socio-political circumstances associated with twentieth-century modernity had a paradoxical impact on women. If some were empowered, others were disadvantaged: while some were able to further their social and cultural development and expression, the advancement of others was impeded. The contributors study the lives and achievements of women - named and un-named, black and white, and from different cultural groups and social contexts - and consider objects and images that are historically associated with both 'art' and 'craft'. In all the essays, gender theory is related to South African circumstances. The volume explores gender theory in relation to twentieth-century visual culture and discusses economic conditions and regional geographies as well as notions of identity. It investigates the influence of educational and cultural institutions, the role of theory on art practice, debates about material culture, the power of nationalist ideologies and the role of feminist theories in a changing country. A wide range of visual images and objects provide the touchstone for debate and analysis - paintings, sculptures, photography, baskets, tapestries, embroideries and ceramics - so that the book is richly visual and celebrates the diversity of South African art made by women.
