Notes
"Black Monkey Thorn forms part of Kentridge's analysis of the forms of different trees indigenous to South Africa. In his six-part lecture series, titled Six Drawing Lessons and delivered at Harvard University as part of the preeminent Norton Lectures, Kentridge discussed this series in relation to how works of art develop meaning."1
