Notes

'Titled I Am Still Learning, this etching shows the artist in New York, his back turned to the viewer with his portfolio under his arm. He is seen walking away from the viewer precariously close to an open manhole. A warthog standing on the roof of a car in the foreground adds to the sense of alienation and displacement, felt by the artist struggling to find his place in a unfamiliar and congested environment.

This image bears testimony to Kentridge's perseverance and consistently brilliant work spanning a twenty five year period which eventually found him recognition at the centre of the art world in New York, where he had been turned away many years before.' (Siebrits, unpaginated)
