#David_Goldblatt: The Art of Capturing a New truth
At a rally of far-right Afrikaners, Goldblatt kept his lens trained on Constand Viljoen in the front row. Viljoen clutched the hand of his wife, Ristie, grim-faced, as she wept while Terre’blanche raged. It was the moment of truth about the dissolution of the right-wing backlash.

Activisme visuel
Décédé en 2018 à l’âge de 87 ans, David Goldblatt a exposé au monde le combat mené dans l’ombre par les activistes dès le début des années 1960 : cette star du photojournalisme fut l’un des seuls à documenter le système terrifiant mis en place à tous les niveaux par le rouleau-compresseur de l’Apartheid. Son père vend des vêtements de travail aux mineurs afrikaners, ces descendants des Hollandais qui ont colonisé le pays au dix-septième siècle. C’est le premier sujet d’étude du jeune photographe, qui ne comprend pas comment ces hommes peuvent soutenir l’Apartheid alors qu’ils ont été comme lui élevés par des femmes noires, des nounous qu’ils aimaient souvent comme leur propre mère. En février 2018, le Centre Pompidou consacrait une rétrospective à celui qui est considéré comme le plus grand chroniqueur social de l’Afrique du Sud.

Through the lens of David #Goldblatt
David Goldblatt, one of South Africa’s most renowned photographers, has passed away. Born in November 1930 in Randfontein, the internationally acclaimed photographer has had his work exhibited in newspapers and galleries around the world. His work focused on the harsh daily realities that black South Africans faced under Apartheid and he continued documenting the struggle for equality well into the democratic era. Aged 87, Goldblatt passed away peacefully in the early hours on Monday, at his home in Johannesburg. These are just some of his iconic images through the decades, courtesy of the Goodman Gallery. 6

The values of David Goldblatt
▻http://africasacountry.com/2017/06/the-values-of-goldblattInseparable from the photographic images of world-renowned South African photographer David Goldblatt, are values. Values, like waves of light, are in some ways absorbed as the social information of a photograph, and in others reflected back at the viewer. Goldblatt, whose imagework blurs the lines between documentary and fine art, frequently speaks of values in…

#PHOTOGRAPHY: Conversation with #David_Goldblatt about “Rise and Fall of Apartheid”
▻http://africasacountry.com/conversation-with-david-goldblatt-about-rise-and-fall-of-apartheidAlmost fifteen years ago, I saw David Goldblatt’s photographs in Rotterdam, at the Netherlands Architecture Institute. They were small and unobtrusive, and I stood before them, very moved. Subsequently, as I learned the story of South Africa through literature, theory, history books, Goldblatt’s work—and later, other photographers’ work—was my real entry. In a way, I […]
