I know, you were hoping I'd forget to post about an artist this month. Well too bad! I like it too much. William Kentridge is a really amazing artist from South Africa. He is best known for his video drawings, in which he starts with a very large charcoal drawing, and erases and changes it over and over to create a short film. I saw this film in Chicago last summer, and was really inspired. I knew of him, but in really seeing them was another story, these are just masterpieces. His work is about power struggles and features two main characters, Felix, and Soho, the rich and the poor, and shows their struggles.
