About the Item

Peter Sacks: Resistance, Preface by Ronald D. Liebowitz with an Essay by Gannit Ankori. Publisher Rose Art Museum, Brandeis Univeristy, 2022. 1st Ed hardcover no dust jacket as published. Peter Sacks: Resistance is the first solo museum exhibition of works by the South African-born artist, Peter Sacks (b. 1950). The show presents over ninety never-before-seen portraits of individuals who have resisted political, racial, or cultural oppression over the past two centuries. The portraits’ subjects range from Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Nelson Mandela to Anna Akhmatova, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Volodymyr Zelensky. Each resistor’s face is embedded in a tactile composition of fabric, paint, personal items and texts, conveying a sense of their life, historical background, struggles, acts of resistance, and, sometimes, their death. Additionally, the exhibition included an audio collage of the voices of numerous contemporary literary, political, social, and cultural figures reciting excerpts they had chosen from resistors’ writings. Sacks notes: “many of these individuals not only inspired each other but became each other’s guides and sources of courage—as I hope they will become for those encountering them in this exhibition.” NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
