South African artist William Kentridge's drawings, films, books, installations, and
collaborations with opera and theater companies have established him as a world-class
star in contemporary art, media, and theater. In 2010, and again in 2013, he staged
Dmitri Shostakovich's 'The Nose' at the Metropolitan Opera; after the premiere, the
New York Times noted that "Kentridge, who directed this production, helped design
the sets and created the videos that animate the staging, received the heartiest bravos."
In this book, Jane Taylor, Kentridge's friend and frequent collaborator, invites us
to take an extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at his work for the show. Kentridge
has long been admired for his unconventional use of conventional media to produce
art that is stunning, evocative, and narratively powerful and how he works is as important
as what he creates. This book is more than just a simple record of 'The Nose'. The
opera serves as a springboard into a bracing conversation about how Kentridge's methods
serve his unique mode of expression as a narrative and political artist. Taylor draws
on his etchings, sculptures, and drawings to render visible the communication that
occurs between his mind and hand as he thinks through the activity of making. Beautifully
illustrated in color, William Kentridge offers striking insights about one of the
most innovative artists of our present moment
