This significant Afrikaans-language autobiography offers a personal look into the life and creative process of Coert Steynberg, one of South Africa’s most celebrated and influential sculptors. Known for his monumental public works—including the iconic statue of Paul Kruger at the Kruger National Park—Steynberg provides a rich narrative of his artistic journey, illustrated with sketches, personal photographs, and records of his major commissions. This copy is part of a "Standaard-versamelaarsuitgawe" (Standard Collector's Edition), strictly limited to 800 copies, and is hand-numbered 976. The book is in very good condition; the black dust jacket features a portrait of the artist and shows only minimal edge wear, while the internal pages are crisp, clean, and tightly bound, preserving this important piece of South African art history.
