GEORGE PEMBA - AGAINST ALL ODDS

First edition hardcover with dust jacket. researched and written by Sarah Hudleston, published by Jonathan Ball, 1996.

George Milwa Mnyaluza Pemba is without doubt a great South African artist. Yet, until shortly before his death in 2001 when he was 89 years old, he was hardly recognised. Rural and township life were his main sources of inspiration and his works became accurate reflections of the social and political conditions of his people. In this work, Pemba enthusiast Sarah Hudleston has documented his life  and work in a style that reflects deeply her passion for an artist who influenced and inspired her own life. It is a testimony to a great man and a rich visual record of his inspired work.
