William Kentridge's show of prints at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York is nothing short of a spectacle.
Lekkerbreek reveals Kentridge's long-standing fascination with trees as a subject, which he paints and prints over dictionary paper.
Lekkerbreek trees are indigenous to Southern Africa, and through placing them within the context of words, they recall a series of associations relating back to Kentridge's childhood.
Touching on themes of procession, history, and memory, the woodcut print Mantegna reimagines Andrea Mantegna's painting Triumphs of Caesar (1484–192), as a means of expressing the weight of one's history.
