Synopsis & Historical Value

Ons Kuns 3 is the third volume in the Afrikaans-language Ons Kuns series on art, edited by Heine Toerien and Georges Duby and published in Pretoria. An English-language edition of the series appeared under the title Our Art.

The series is an artist-focused anthology, presenting the work of a number of artists in each volume with reproductions of their work. Artists associated with the series include Judith Mason, Edoardo Villa, Sydney Kumalo, Cecil Skotnes, Alexis Preller and Walter Battiss, names central to twentieth-century South African art.

Earlier volumes of the series are cited in architectural-history bibliographies, which gives the set a place as a reference for the study of South African visual culture. This large-format Afrikaans volume suits collectors of South African art books and Africana.
