About the Item

Nelson Mandela, Earth, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw. The original charcoal sketch was created by Nelson Mandela in July 2004 when completing a collection of works based on generic symbols. “Earth” consists of two Crescents, representing oceans and land. In this sketch the “Ocean Crescent” embraces the “Land Crescent” just as the oceans surround and embrace the land. “We are all Islands, but the Oceans bind us together” he said when asked what the image represented to him. This limited edition consists of 30 posthumously hand printed silkscreen prints that include the Mandela life line stamp in Indian ink, the House of Mandela mark and the mark of the printer. Each of the 30 numbered works includes an original Nelson Mandela pencil signature placed in a recessed window. Each print is issued with a Certificate of Authenticity from the House of Mandela and from Belgravia Gallery, and is framed in either black or white ash.

Artist Motivation - Mandela, Former South African President, Inspirational Words
By Nelson Mandela
Located in Knowle Lane, Cranleigh
Nelson Mandela, Artist's Motivation, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw. In 2002, when creating the The Motivation print, he told Anna and Laura from Belgravia Gallery of his desire to become a full time artist when he retired. This artwork is a handwritten Artist’s Motivation by Nelson Mandela and reads: “Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid. Robben Island is a place where courage endured in the face of endless hardship, a place where people kept on believing when it seemed their dreams were hopeless and a place where wisdom and determination overcame fear and human frailty. It is true that Robben Island was once a place of darkness, but out of that darkness has come a wonderful brightness, a light so powerful that it could not be hidden behind prison walls, held back by prison bars...
