By Professor John M. Mackenzie Of all Dominion art, that of the Europeans in South Africa was the most conservative. The reason for this was that, for much of the nineteenth century, artists from the Afrikaner community continued to draw upon the traditions of Dutch painting. Indeed Cape paintings in the sumptuous Amsterdam style continued to find favour well into the twentieth century. French impressionism only became influential in the 1920s and modernists movements in the 1940s - in each case several decades after their arrival in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Moreover, art in South Africa seemed to be little influenced by economic change and urbanization for the first half of the twentieth century. As elsewhere, the prime focus of South African art was to render the essence of its landscape and meteorology, its botany and zoology, in terms of its own values of light and colour, and to portray its indigenous peoples in supposedly traditional settings. The Zulu people, who were seen as representing the essence of a black military tradition, fearsome yet dignified, were depicted in the same romantic convention as had been applied to studies of Maoris. Other Africans were either ignored or were shown as long-suffering servants and agricultural employees. It was not until after the Second World War that a more realistic and fully urban art began to emerge. This came about partly because artists became much more aware of the black presence in the white economy. Chapters Introduction The Beauty in Exploration Mythologizing Empire Portraying India ...

Stahle Department of English Parlin 108 University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX 7831-1164 Postcolonial Sights/Sites: Vision in Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians and the Eyes of the Electronic Classroom Waiting for the Barbarians : for years the magistrate has governed an outlying region of an unnamed colonial frontier, living among the indigenous peoples but not living with them. He governed, if not generously, then at least without malice, if not judiciously, then without retribution. He was comfortable in his role as magistrate and the indigenous peoples of the area had learned to adapt to him, to his behaviors and to his ways of seeing. However, with the arrival of Colonel Joll at the beginning of the novel, all this begins to change: not only is the magistrate's position and authority undercut, he is also forced to begin viewing himself and his world in radically different ways. From the first lines of the novel the reader notices the author's conscientious concern for exploring this notion of vision. From the opening paragraph I cite the following paragraph:
