Some Afrikaners Revisited, David Goldblatt
R1300The work of David Goldblatt – as recipient of the 2006 Hasselblad Foundation Award undoubtedly South Africa’s most prominent active photographer – reflects a life-long exploration of the relationship between individual South Africans and the society they live in. His first extended photographic essay was compiled in the 1960s. When it was finally published in 1975 as Some Afrikaners Photographed, the book created quite a stir locally. Eventually most of the small print-run had to be sold off for a song.
