"This book fills a significant vacuum. Alexis Preller, major South African artist, was born in Pretoria in 1911 and died there in 1975. In all that time and ever since, only one small book published in 1947 was devoted to his artIn the course of his forty year career, Alexis Preller achieved national recognition and critical acclaim. Loyal admirers flocked every exhibition by the master artist. Yet, there were also those who were disturbed by his frequently cryptic themes and who denounced his flouting of pictorial convention. Prellers art is indeed unconventional, distinctly independent, often enigmatic, but it is not impenetrable." South Africa's own Hieronymus Bosch
