William Kentridge

William Kentridge's work was outstanding. He is best known for his series of stop-motion animated films, which are made by repeatedly erasing and reworking charcoal drawings. His work makes me feel very surprised and it makes me get the feeling that everything is possible. Kentridge deals with subjects as sobering as apartheid, colonialism, and totalitarianism and his work is often imbued with dreamy.

If I had to explain his work to a blind person I would tell them that it looks like if its a video since the pictures are very well taken and the paintings are well created. Not only that but, it has no color, everything is in black and white. Even though most of his paintings are charcoal drawings, it looks very clean. As you can see, Kentridge's work is a very famous artist that is very well known all over the world.
