Dateline Kenya: The Media Paintings of Joseph Bertiers
Couldn't load pickup availability
Although Joseph Bertiers has never set foot outside Kenya, his addiction to current events via television, radio, newspapers, and magazines has fueled a unique style of painting which bridges the gap between naive outsider art and the sociopolitical issues of the late 20th century. World leaders, celebrities, and global events are portrayed with a cutting satirical bent in paintings that are rich in both formal beauty and penetrating wit. Essay by Karal Ann Marling, interview with Bertiers by Ernie Wolfe III.
