South African artist William Kentridge's drawings, films, books,
installations, and collaborations with opera and theater companies
have established him as a world-class star in contemporary art,
media, and theater. In 2010, and again in 2013, he staged Dmitri
Shostakovich's The Nose at the Metropolitan Opera; after the
premiere, the New York Times noted that "Kentridge, who directed
this production, helped design the sets and created the videos that
animate the staging, received the heartiest bravos." In this book,
Jane Taylor, Kentridge's friend and frequent collaborator, invites
us to take an extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at his work for
the show. Kentridge has long been admired for his unconventional
use of conventional media to produce art that is stunning,
evocative, and narratively powerful and how he works is as
important as what he creates. This book is more than just a simple
record of The Nose. The opera serves as a springboard into a
bracing conversation about how Kentridge's methods serve his unique
mode of expression as a narrative and political artist. Taylor
draws on his etchings, sculptures, and drawings to render visible
the communication that occurs between his mind and hand as he
thinks through the activity of making. Beautifully illustrated in
color, William Kentridge offers striking insights about one of the
most innovative artists of our present moment.
