Hylton Nel - Conversations - Signed First Edition
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Signed and inscribed by Hylton Nel on the title page (this is the eleventh page of the book). Hylton Nel grew up in the Northern Cape in South Africa. After studying fine art in Grahamstown and in Antwerp in the early 1960s, he spent a decade between England and South Africa before returning permanently in 1974. Nel describes himself as an 'artist-potter' which aptly refers to his interest in painted imagery as well as in form and function. Over the past four decades he has developed a style that is rich in references to the decorative arts and literary and art historical sources. His plates, bowls, vases, plaques and figurative pieces are idiosyncratically decorated with witty - and sometimes poignant - line drawings and script. His imagery ranges from Madonnas to cats through to angels, and his quotes are drawn from poetry and the daily press as well as observations of the world around him. He presently lives on the outskirts of Calitzdorp, a small town in the Klein Karoo. Hardcover in unpriced dust jacket. The jacket has some edge wear, including a short tear in the top edge; the book itself is very good -although the spine has a lean, the contents are bright and fresh, with no markings. Colour illustrations. 128 pages. Size 28.8 x 28.5 x 1.7 cm. If you would like to browse the other books our shop has available online, please click on our shop's name.
