In this book the authors bring together a rare collection of the work of Christo Coetzee. Coetzee lived and worked in three continents - Europe, Africa and Asia - is one of South Africa's foremost proponents of the avant-garde style of the period, when artists, especially in the heady flux of post-war London, were actively pushing the bounds of accepted art forms. The book delves into the forces and influences which shaped Coetzee's art, which were many and varied, including the Japanese school, the artwork of Pompeii, and contemporary Italian artists.
