Breyten Breytenbach
Breytenbach’s work includes poetry, novels, plays and essays, most of which are in Afrikaans and a number originally published in English. Most of his books are translated into several languages. He is also known for his art-work. Exhibitions of his paintings and prints have been held in various cities, including Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris, Edinburgh and New York.
Robert Hodgins
Robert Hodgins avoided a standardised style, even though his work is recognised by the strong use of colour, a flowing painting technique and innovative compositions.
Peter Klatzow
Klatzow’s style can be seen as largely dependent on the Western Classical-Romantic canon, with more specific influences possibly being Brahms, Liszt, Ravel, Prokofiev, Copland, Messiaen and others.
