Schadeberg, sometimes known as “The Father of South African Photography”, is a principle figure in South African and World Photography. Schadeberg was born in Berlin in 1931 and, while still in his teens, worked as an apprentice photographer for a German Press Agency in Hamburg. In 1950 he emigrated to South Africa and became Chief Photographer, Picture Editor, and Art Director of Drum Magazine.
It was during this time that Schadeberg photographed pivotal moments in the lives of South Africans in the 1950s. These photographs represent the lives and struggles of South Africans during Apartheid and include important figures in South Africa’s history such as Nelson Mandela, Moroka, Walter Sisulu, and many others. In this black-and-white platinum print, Nelson Mandela is captured looking out the window of his cell on Robben Island. The cultural figure is caught in a moment of vulnerability yet still evokes a strong sense of strength and ease. Schadeberg’s major body of work, which spans 60 years and incorporates a collection of some 100,000 negatives, captures a wealth of timeless and iconic images that speak to the social, cultural, and political history of South Africa.
