Photographer David Goldblatt dedicated his long career to chronicling South Africa from the rise of Afrikaner Nationalism, the apartheid regime, to the democratic era which followed. Goldblatt’s photographs record the South African land and its inhabitants, and in turn, the social and political conditions which shaped and influenced each. Through photography, he sought to draw attention to the situation in South Africa and called into question standards, which despite their normalization were, in his view, abnormal and unjust.

Goldblatt explained, “Photography is the means through which I have come to deal with being South African. Making photographs demands on the one hand that you see reality with a kind of coherence and on the other hand it provides the opportunity, the license, to look at reality in ways which are not normally permitted to us…I was opening up my own life, my own background and looking at it microscopically, it was painful.”

Barry Callaghan was an early promoter of Goldblatt’s work. Callaghan’s publication EXILE, A Journal of Canadian and International Writing, often published Goldblatt's work, most notably as a 39-page spread in Volume 4, Number 1, 1976. This is an original ferrotyped silver gelatin photograph, which was published in that spread and printed between 1972 and 1976. Vintage prints by David Goldblatt are considered rare.

This work was printed circa 1972. The full sheet size is 12 x 15 inches.

Please note: this work is unframed.
