In Nomfanekiso, Who Paints at Night, art historian Elza Miles traces the development of this singular artist Gladys Mgudlandlu - from her early, meticulously detailed works, to her later works depicting urban scenes and simplification of shapes, enlivened with broad sweeping brushstrokes of colour.

An overview of Gladys Mgudlandlu's art, one of the foremost exponents of Expressionism in South Africa, assessing her contribution to painting in South Africa. She held her first painting exhibition, the first African woman to do so, in 1961. Art critics and the public recognised the significance of her highly individualistic art expression and, today, her art may be found around the world. Colour photographs and reproductions
