William Kentridge, born into a lineage of prominent legal figures in South Africa, initially found the pursuit of art challenging and unnatural. Despite these hurdles, he has emerged as a significant figure in the international art scene, celebrated for his creativity and depth. With numerous accolades, including honorary doctorates and feature exhibitions, he continues to inspire. Recently turning 70, Kentridge has an array of projects, including solo exhibitions and a film series, demonstrating his enduring influence and versatility as an artist.
