Complex Canvas
COMPLEX CANVAS - JOHANNES MEINTJES
Johannes Meintjes' seminal work Complex Canvas - a South African Approach is now available on CD.
From the foreword:
In recent years there has been an increasing number of books devoted to the geographical, historical, political and cultural aspects of South Africa and particularly of Cape Town.
This book attempts to reveal the Cape Province in a new and possibly novel way. It is neither a history nor a guide-book, neither a factual document nor a cultural survey. It attempts to convey something of the intrinsic wonder of the country, the moods, atmosphere and other qualities underlying the obvious. Being essentially a painter of mood, memory and the imagination, the drawings are mostly a mergence of several aspects, manipulated to intensify what was found most arresting and, in conjunction with the text, attempt to convey the very feel of the country.

Anton Anreith - Sculptor
ANTON ANREITH - SCULPTOR
Johannes Meintjes' rare book on the South African sculptor Anton Anreith is now available.
From the foreword:
"Although this is a slender book, it covers all known material on South Africa's first European sculptor. It is the first book on him, the first artistic evaluation of his work and the first attempt to consider all his work or that attributed to him. With a book of this nature one cannot claim completeness as there is always the possibility of new material coming to light.
All the photographs are from the Elliott collection and they are reproduced with the kind permission of The Archives, Cape Town, to whom grateful acknowledgement is extended. I wish to thank all those who assisted me in making this study."
The book is packed with information about Anreith and his work, and includes photographs of the following of his works:

DIE DAGBOEKE VAN JOHANNES MEINTJES
Johannes Meintjes, een van Suid-Afrika se mees respekteerde kunstenaars, het noukeurig dagboek gehou van sy doen en late oor 'n uitgestrekte tydperk, en tussen 1961 en 1975 is drie van hierdie dagboek publiseer. Al drie hierdie dagboeke word op hierdie cd ingesluit.
Dagboek 1, wat aan Meintjes se vader Ernest Frederick Meintjes opgedra is, bevat talle illustrasies/tekeninge deur die kunstenaar. In 1961 vrygestel in 'n beperkte uitgawe van 1000, dek hierdie dagboek die outeur se Universiteitsdae, sy "Johannesburgse fase", sy aanvanklike werk as professionele kunsskilder en ook sy verblyf in London. 'n Register van die werke wat hy in hierdie tyd die lig laat sien het, is ook ingesluit.
Dagboek 2 (in 1972 uitgegee) dek die tydperk vanaf Februarie 1947 tot April 1951 en omskryf Meintjes se tyd in Kaapstad en op Grootzeekoegat. Die skilderye van hierdie tydperk word ook gelys.
Die tydperk van April 1951 tot Junie 1955 word in Dagboek 3, wat in 1975 publiseer is, gedek. Die laaste jare op Grootzeekoegat asook die laaste tydperk in Johannesburg word omskryf. Weereens rond 'n lys van sy werke in hierdie tydperk die boek af.
