The long awaited book about MASTER SCULPTOR TIENIE PRITCHARD, one of South Africas best known and acknowledged contemporary sculptors, is now available. Author Elna Pritchard, wife and lifelong companion, has written an informative narrative about his life and work. Tienie Pritchard is the only living artist in South Africa that has been honoured by an Art Museum, exclusively featuring a substantial collection of his work. Residing in the vicinity of Hartbeespoortdam, Tienie continues to create the masterpieces he dreams about. In the early 1970s, Tienie became a household name because of the controversy evoked by his nude group Life Cycle, which had been commissioned by the old NP government. The media followed his every move and he became the subject of hundreds of news paper reports and magazine articles. This publication tells the story from Tienies own perspective. Being in constant media spotlight for a period of four years, opened many doors and established him as a sculptor of note.
