David Mzuguno

A tribute to the Tanzanian Tingatinga painter David Mzuguno, widely regarded during his lifetime as one of the leading exponents of the genre in his generation. On the verge of an international breakthrough when he died of lung cancer at age 59, his final and most successful exhibition was held in Uganda. This book documents his last great artistic adventure. Included with the book is a DVD in which Mzuguno shares his techniques and artistic knowledge with his sons and others, presenting a three-day masterclass that follows the step-by-step creation of one of his final and most celebrated paintings, ‘Peacock family’. A valuable record for collectors, students, and admirers of East African contemporary art. Internationally distributed by African Books Collective.
