William Kentridge at Moma San Francisco

 A recent visit to the iconic MOMA in San Francisco introduced me to South African draughtsman and filmmaker William Kentridge. I was really impressed by his series of short animations based on his drawings. He uses minute changes to his drawings to create stop motion animation. The scale, quality and originality of his drawings were very impressive, and I really like how he plays with the viewers perception of drawing and reality, mixing the two themes up and often including himself within the animation to interact in their world. The result is an insight into the intimate thoughts of the artist mind.
