Meer over het boek

Focusing on the artistic journey of Stanley Greaves, this investigation delves into his unique integration of Guyanese physical reality with influences from African, Amerindian, and European surrealism. It examines his diverse media, including sculpture, ceramics, and folk art, while also highlighting how the political turmoil and social collapse in 1980s Guyana shaped his artistic expression. The exploration reveals the depth of Greaves' work and its reflection of the cultural and historical context of the Caribbean.
