  • Title: the Diamond Smugglers by Ian Fleming 1957
    Title: The Diamond Smugglers by Ian Fleming 1957 Published by Jonathan Cape, London Shelf Number: SBV3 823.914 FLEM The Diamond Smugglers is non-fiction work that was first published between 1957 and 1958. It is about the interview that the author undertook with John Collard who was a member of the International Diamond Security Organization (IDSO), which was headed by Sir Percy Sillitoe. Collard narrates how he was recruited into the organization. The book goes on to discuss all activities of the IDSO from 1954 until the operation was closed in 1957. Collard explained that the IDSO was created after an Interpol report had stated that £10 million of diamonds were being smuggled out of South Africa as well as additional amounts from Sierra Leone, Portuguese West Africa, the Gold Coast and Tanganyika. When the drafts of the book were shown to De Beers they objected to several chapters and threatened a sanction against Fleming and The Sunday Times, which resulted in most material being removed. 1 Title: Bushman Paintings by Helen Tongue 1909 Published by Oxford at the Clarendon Press Shelf Number: SBV3 759.968 TONG In many parts of the Cape Colony, where there are caves and rocks, the bushmen have left paintings displaying their artistic skills. These paintings represent leopards; antelopes; lions and other animals that roamed over South Africa. The Bushmen Paintings was written by Helen Tongue and is about the lives of the Bushmen. The book is divided into two parts, the first part being descriptions of all the paintings that are included in the manuscript, the second part encompasses a brief history about the origin of Bushmen as well as where how they lived their lives.

    MSS ACC 140 UNISA LIBRARY MANUSCRIPTS COLLECTION John Wickens’ Scrapbook of Walter Battiss materials C1912; 1947-1994 Compiled by Marié Coetzee 2013 Biography of Walter Battiss (1906-1982) Walter Battiss was born on 6 January in Somerset East. The family later moved to Fauresmith in the Orange Free State where Battiss matriculated in 1923. The following year, he started working in the Magistrate of Rustenburg’s Office. He held the first of many solo exhibitions in the Rustenburg Masonic Hall in 1927. Two years later he was transferred to the Supreme Court in Johannesburg. During this period he attended part-time classes at the Art School of the Witwatersrand Technical College. Between 1930 and 1932, Battiss studied full-time at the Johannesburg Teachers’ Training College and the University of the Witwatersrand where obtained a teacher’s diploma. In 1936 Walter Battiss was appointed art master at the Pretoria Boys’ High School and he started seriously studying rock art. In 1938 he travelled to Europe where he met Abbé Breuil, co-founder of the New Group. Battiss married Grace Anderson, a well-known art-educationalist, in 1940 and moved to Giotto’s Hill, Menlo Park, Pretoria, where he stayed until his death in 1982. Battiss was appointed as the first professor and Head of the Department of History of Art and Fine Arts at Unisa in November 1964. His links to the University go back as far as 1935, when he registered for a BA (FA) degree. He obtained this Unisa degree in 1939. In 1965 Battiss launched the pilot issue of De Arte, for many years the only academic art journal in the country.

  • Patronage, Business and the Value of Art
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Wits Institutional Repository on DSPACE PATRONAGE, BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF ART: The Corporate Arts Sponsorship of Absa Bank and Hollard Insurance. Jenni Verschoor A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in History of Art. Johannesburg, 2009 i ABSTRACT This report is a study into the corporate sponsorship of art as is evident in South Africa today. Starting with a history of patronage in the West, it leads to South Africa and the role currently being played by South African companies in the art world. Through an examination of South African patronage by the government and direct interviews with individuals involved in government and corporate sponsorship of the arts, this report endeavours to show how and why organisations such as Absa Bank and Hollard Insurance have chosen to involve themselves in the art world. I will then follow on to discuss the effect that this corporate sponsorship has on the value of art – financially, socially and culturally. The end result will be study on the relationship that exists between the benefactor and the beneficiary of corporate sponsorship in South Africa and the resulting impact this has on the perceived value of art. (art; patronage; value; corporate sponsorship; investment art; corporate collections; Absa; Hollard) ii DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Masters in History of Art in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

  • The Impact of Bushman Art on Pippa Skotnes and On
    BUSHMAN IMAGERY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE VISUAL CONSTRUCTS OF PIPPA SKOTNES by LIESBETH HENDRIKA GROENEWALD Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER IN VISUAL ART at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Ms A U KRAJEWSKA November 2008 ii DECLARATION I declare that BUSHMAN IMAGERY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE VISUAL CONSTRUCTS OF PIPPA SKOTNES is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. Signed: (Mrs. L.H. Groenewald) Date: iii SUMMARY Title: Bushman imagery and its impact on the visual constructs of Pippa Skotnes. Summary: This dissertation explores the impact of Bushman images, and the writings of Lucy Lloyd and Wilhelm Bleek (working with the Breakwater Bushmen) on three art works of Pippa Skotnes. They are The Return III (1988), For //Kunn (1993) and Heaven’s Things (1999). It is argued that Bushman imagery, being the result of shamanic trance activities is characterised by imagery, which mammals universally share. The use of the same imagery by the Surrealists in the twentieth century arises not from an intimate interaction with the spirit realm/dream world but from the European longing for an altered reality. Skotnes appropriates Bushman imagery in her prints, narrating the tragic fate of the Bushman. She laments the loss of the transcendental relationship between Man and the Universe. The exploitation, adoption and marketing of Bushman imagery by the tourist industry marks the distinction between her respectful treatment and the materialism of South Africans. LIST OF KEY TERMS: Adoption; advertising; appropriation; Battiss (Walter); Bleek (Wilhelm); Bushman; Bushman imagery; Bushman myth and mythology; Bushman shamans; Bushman trance stages; colonial; For //Kunn; Heaven’s Things; Kolman’s Kop; Lloyd (Lucy); Miscast; museum exhibits; primitive; Skotnes (Pippa); The Return III; surrealist; tourism.

We are reminded that the discipline has a deep job, even as the book went on to win awards for relation to the contemporary and to our understanding scholarship. of the present as much as to the philosophical Archaeology sits at the heart of the Indian nation’s questions of History and Memory. Moreover, despite imagination of itself as the inheritor of an ancient claims to scientific method and the rigours of objective civilisation. This statement is objectively true. It also enquiry, the fact remains that archaeology is located addresses the subjective need of an independent within political projects of nationhood, narratives of nation to have a narrative that is not about the civilis- conquest, and claims to antiquity and classicism (‘we have been around longer than you’). A striking example of this came up in 2001 when a young American scholar, Nadia Abu El Haj, published Facts on the Ground: archaeological practice and OTHER FEATURES IN THIS ISSUE territorial self-fashioning in Israeli society.
