Volume 3 of Visual Century: South African Art in Context 1907-1948
is part of a four-volume publication that reappraises South African
visual art of the twentieth century from a postapartheid
perspective. Edited by Mario Pissarra, the volume looks at the
years 1973 to 1992. The forw0rd by Rashied Araeen titled `Art and
Human Struggle', sets the theme for this period. Bracketed by
porous transitional moments in the early 1970s and 1990s, this
volume covers a period characterised by a deepening of the struggle
for democracy, a time when historical preoccupations with race were
increasingly complemented with growing discourses on class and
gender. It was a time when unprecedented internal and external
pressure resulted in heightened introspection and action in and
through the visual arts. The essays address a multiplicity of ways
in which artists responded directly and indirectly to the
challenges of this period, mostly as individuals but also through
organisations. Resistance and complicity, and the spaces between,
found expression in the use of everyday themes, biblical sources,
ethnically derived themes, subtle and extreme forms of humour, as
well as through representations of conflict. This is a period when
challenging art was produced in community arts centres,
universities and in public places, a time when the cultural boycott
simultaneously united and polarised artists, and exiles mediated
the ambivalences of `home'.
