Good condition."Butler's poetry brings into clear focus qualities he has variously shown as a man, a soldier, a teacher, and a dramatist - among them his humanity, warmth, and joie de vivre. How remarkable is its unforced naturalness: this is the hard-won product of a whole culture and a mature talent. From the impressionability of his boyhood and adolescence comes his intimate sense of place and atmosphere, and from his good nature such affectionate portraits as those of Uncle Danby and the Farmer."- From the Introduction by William Plomer

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 4 - 8 working days Situated between the Hottentots Holland Mountains and the Breede River, the Overberg is an important agricultural region and a popular holiday destination for tourists and nature lovers who delight in the beauty of its mountainous landscape, abundant plant species and long sandy beaches. But this area also has a rich history going back thousands of years, when the indigenous Khoi people originally thrived there, before the first European settlers arrived to leave their own indelible imprint on the culture, architecture and character of the region. This book provides a detailed account of this past by pointing out the many places, buildings, events and personalities that have made the Overberg the diverse and unique place that it is today. The Overberg has been a home or point of interest for explorers, innovators, artists and writers, for figures as varied as Bartholomew Diaz, Olof Bergh, Hendrik Verwoerd, Gregoire Boonzaier, Audrey Blignault and Breyten Breytenbach. Some of South Africa's oldest towns, houses and missionary stations can be found here, and its treacherous coastline has been the cause of hundreds of shipwrecks for centuries. Enlivened by historical and current photographs and informative side panels, this book is a collector's item.

The Visual Arts Network of South Africa (VANSA), with the support of the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) is pleased to announce the launch of the Best Practice Guide for the Visual Arts in South Africa. The Best Practice Guide was developed out of the need to share and develop industry practices that would support healthy and ethical relationships and transactions between practitioners in the industry. The guide is written to give all people involved in the visual arts an understanding of the practice South Africa should be aiming towards for the betterment of the Visual Arts. Commissioned by the Department of Arts and Culture and written by Visual Arts Network of South Africa, the Guide is intended to support a growing and strengthening Visual Arts field. The content of the guide is extensive and covers as many fields as possible to be as accessible as possible to all. It covers a range from sales, to insurance, to taxes, to marketing and social media to the rights of practitioners in the field. We expect it will be invaluable for many people to better empower themselves to make knowledgeable decisions. The Director of VANSA, Molemo Moiloa, comments on important content in the Guide; “We are very excited to launch this guide and make it available to the South African Visual Arts Community. The Guide is aimed at giving people as much information as possible so that they can take the paths they wish to, equipped with an understanding of where those paths may lead”. The guide strongly recommends the use of written agreements in all relations for the arts – something that is not yet usual practice for artists and gallerists. The guide also makes a case for ensuring artists are paid in every circumstance possible to encourage the professionalisation of creative work and the betterment of artists’ livelihoods. The guide is aimed at all practitioners across South Africa and will be available online. VISIT THE VANSA WEBSITE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY NOW. Workshops will be held across South Africa where copies of the Guide will be given to participants. These Workshops are also free and will give attendees a better understanding of how to use the guide. The workshops are hosted by partners of VANSA throughout South Africa. Workshop dates and venues are listed below. The workshops are supported by the National Arts Council.

About the product 4to; laminated pictorial boards; pp.32, incl. index; full-colour illustrations. Trace of foxing to endpapers. Very good condition."The 1820 Settlers made a lasting contribution to the culture and history of South Africa. But who were they? Why did they emigrate to the Cape Colony? How did they cope with the trials and tribulations of frontier life? This book answers all these questions and many more as the reader is transported back to a time when groups of British settlers came to the troubled eastern Cape and were literally dumped on the land to make their way as best they could. The facts of history are all here, but Marian Robertson's lively text gives so much more, brimming with fascinating accounts of the settlers'everyday experiences and how they forged a new life in a hostile land. Every page is brought alive by Angus McBride's superb full-colour illustrations, his meticulous attention to detail showing just what it was like to be an 1820 Settler." Living with. The 1820 Settlers (Marian (text) Robertson, and Angus McBride (illustrations))
