About the Item

Artist: Nelson Mandela (Former South African President) - 1918 - 2013 Title: "The Window" Year: 2002 Medium: Lithograph on B F K Rives paper Edition: 109/500 Signed and Numbered in pencil by Mr. Mandela Published by: Ross McLean, Calder art publisher, Cape Town Note: Original publisher's justification sheet, is included. (See JPG.) Height: 25.6 in (65 cm) Width: 19.69 in (50 cm). Nelson Mandela, The Window, 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 Window print, he told Anna and Laura from Belgravia Gallery of his desire to become a full time artist when he retired. This sketch depicts a view of Table Mountain through the bars of a prison cell on Robben Island. In fact Table Mountain is not visible from the prison cell windows, however, the view depicted in this piece idealises one that resembles freedom and beauty to Nelson Mandela during his incarceration. `The Window’ is one of the few sketches where colour is used throughout indicating the deep emotional value and meaning attached by Nelson Mandela.
