Since 1997, artist Claude Sandoz has been sharing his time between
his native Switzerland and the Caribbean island of St Lucia. Each
time he returns from the Antilles, he brings back chests of
sketches and drawings produced during his stay. The island topic
provides an assortative focal point for his exuberant work. Sandoz
is no longer a tourist, he has 'gone native' at his second home and
developed a much more complex relationship with St Lucia than a
mere seasonal artist's residence would allow. This moment in
Sandoz's art that ethnologists describe as going native is the
focus of this new monograph: when own and alien match, overlay with
and possibly enrich each other. The book features a vast selection
of Sandoz's works, complemented by topical essays and a
conversation with the artists. Interspersed poems by Caribbean
writers round out the book. Text in English and German.
