WILLIAM KENTRIDGE combines the political with the poetic. Best known for animated films based on his charcoal drawings, he also works in prints, books, collage, sculpture and the performing arts. Kentridge’s premiere of Shotakovich’s “The Nose” (based on the Gogol short story) at the Metropolitan Opera coincided with a major retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art.
