Lines, Marks, and Drawings: Through the Lens of Roger Ballen

Roger Ballen, 2013

Overview

This retrospective book traces the development of line and drawing throughout Roger Ballen's nearly half-century career. Initially known for black-and-white portraits of rural Afrikaaners, his work evolved towards staged settings embellished with expressionistic drawings. The volume explores how Ballen moved from behind the camera to engage directly with line, including a series created by drawing on glass, and addresses his recent videography.
