David Goldblatt: Some Afrikaners Photographed

Text by Antjie Krog, Ivor Powell.

David Goldblatt (1930–2018) began working on Some Afrikaners Photographed (1975) in 1963. He had sold his father’s clothing store where he worked, and become a full-time photographer. The ruling Afrikaner National Party—many of its leaders and members had supported the Nazis in the World War II—was firming its grip on the country in the face of black resistance. Yet Goldblatt was drawn not to the events of the time but to “the quiet and commonplace where nothing ‘happened’ and yet all was contained and immanent.” Making these photos he explored his ambivalence toward the Afrikaners he knew from his father’s store. Most, he guessed, were National Party voters, yet he experienced them as “austere, upright, unaffected people of rare generosity of spirit and earthy humor.” Their potency and contradictions moved and disturbed him; their influence pervaded his life. The book includes an essay by famed South African writer Antjie Krog.


PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Blind

Bill Shapiro

Many photographers of the day focused on apartheid’s shocking and selective barbarity, producing dramatic photos to fill magazine spreads. But rather than memorialize the swinging billy clubs and limp bodies, Goldblatt sought out the everyday conditions and long-held values that lay behind the violence—something more difficult to capture on film
