The Artist in the Garden -The Quest for Moses Tladi
Angela Read Lloyd's new book The Artist in the Garden -The Quest for Moses Tladi is now available nation-wide.
Moses Tladi (1903 - 1959) became the first black artist ever to exhibit in the South African National Gallery in December 1931. His first appearance, in Johannesburg in 1929, had caused a sensation. During the 1930's Moses Tladi achieved a country-wide reputation as an outstanding landscape painter. Tladi served his country during the Second World War, but continued to paint until the tragic events of 1956 which led to his death three years later.
This book re-discovers the life and work of a remarkable South African artist: the first black artist to paint in an international style.
