Description:


Since Apartheid's fall in 1994, South African photography has exploded from the grip of censorship onto the world stage. A key figure in this movement is Zwelethu Mthethwa, whose portraits powerfully frame black South Africans as dignified and defiant individuals, even under the duress of social and economic hardship. Photographing in urban and rural industrial landscapes, Mthethwa documents a range of aspects in South Africa, from domestic life and the environment to landscape and labor issues. Mthethwa's work challenges the conventions of both Western documentary work and African commercial studio photography, marking a transition away from the visually exotic and diseased--or "Afro-pessimism," as curator Okwui Enwezor has described it--and employing a fresh approach marked by color and collaboration. "Zwelethu Mthethwa," the artist's long awaited first comprehensive monograph provides an overview of his work to date, and features the stunning portraits that have brought him international acclaim.Born in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in 1960, Zwelethu Mthethwa received his BFA from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, a then white-only university he entered under special ministerial consent. In 1989, he received his Master's degree while on a Fulbright Scholarship to the Rochester Institute of Technology. Mthethwa has had more than 35 international solo exhibitions and has been featured in numerous group shows, including the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005 and "Snap Judgments: New Positions in Contemporary African Photography" at the International Center of Photography, New York, in 2006.

My husband loves these shirts
Color: Dark Blue, Size: Large
My husband just loves these shirts. He has one in every color, I think. Great quality, good price, breathable, true to color, and super comfy. Nice enough to wear to a nice dinner but can be dressed down w a pair of shorts and flip flops. By far the best find I have found!

Shrink-wrapped shirt???
Color: Clear Blue, Size: X-Large
This shirt arrived in a vacuum packed clear package which caused wrinkles in the synthetic material. Instructions to remove the wrinkles are to run the shirt through a wash cycle. Well, that didn't work! I'm hoping a dry cleaning service can steam press the wrinkles out. Aside from that issue it is a very nice shirt. Sizing good. Fabric thickness and material are very good. Because it is made from polyester and spandex shrinkage will not be an issue.

Great size and cut for an athletic build.
Color: Dark Blue, Size: Medium
I have purchased about a dozen different Coofandy long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts and I absolutely love them. I'm 5'6" and 175 lbs with an athletic build and I wear a medium from this company. For an average build, they may seem a little "undersized", but if your looking for a shirt that really shows your physique these are perfect. I'm normally a Vuori guy for my athletic cut clothing, but these shirt are one quarter the price, a really nice cut, comfortable, and decent quality. They are cheap enough that I added a host of different colors to my wardrobe.
