Anton van Wouw 1862–1945 by Mark Read and Jacques Michau (Everard Read, 2009) is a beautifully produced monograph celebrating the life and work of South Africa’s pioneering sculptor, often hailed as the father of South African sculpture. Published by the Everard Read Gallery, this elegant volume combines scholarly insight with visual splendour, showcasing van Wouw’s profound influence on the nation’s artistic and cultural heritage.
Through richly detailed essays and exceptional photographic reproductions, Mark Read and Jacques Michau trace van Wouw’s artistic journey from his Dutch origins to his arrival in South Africa and the creation of his most iconic works — including The Woman and the Dagga Smoker, The Voortrekker Woman, and The Kruger Statue. Their text offers both art historical context and personal perspective, illuminating van Wouw’s technical mastery, his sensitivity to character, and his deep connection to the people and landscapes of South Africa.
Lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched, Anton van Wouw 1862–1945 is both a visual tribute and an academic reference, appealing to collectors, art historians, and admirers of fine sculpture. This 2009 Everard Read edition stands as a definitive study of one of South Africa’s most revered artists — a timeless homage to the sculptor who captured the nation’s spirit in bronze.
