Painting life and philosophy in Mozambique

What a joy to open this book and feel the rich uniqueness of Malangatana’s spirit flow over you - the vibrant energy, the colour, the movement, the people and creatures that are undeniably African. Originally published in 1998 in Portuguese by Editorial Caminho (Lisbon), this English translation is a welcome addition to the growing - though still woefully limited – number of monographs on significant contemporary artists in Africa.
