The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents "William Kentridge: In Praise of Shadows." Organized in cooperation with The Broad, Los Angeles, the exhibition surveys 35 years of the celebrated South African artist’s career, and features more than 80 works touching on every aspect of Kentridge’s wide-ranging investigations in the visual arts, film, and theater.

Born in Johannesburg in 1955, where he continues to live and work today, Kentridge has dedicated much of his career to exploring the social and political conditions of his home country, from the Apartheid era (1948-91), through South Africa’s transition to desegregation and democratic elections (1991-94), and to its present-day realities.

Featuring his world-renowned charcoal drawings and animated films, as well as prints, bronzes, tapestries, and theater models, "William Kentridge: In Praise of Shadows" uses the paradoxes of light and shadow to directly engage with the aftermath of colonialism, the recording and memory of historical narratives, and how the artist’s studio can disrupt the certainties of long-held belief systems.

The exhibit will be on display until September 10.
