George Pemba is an artist who defeated the stereotype that black people could not become professional painters during the Apartheid regime in South Africa. Pemba is often referred to as the Grandmaster of South African Art and is internationally recognized as one of South Africa's greatest artists. His paintings depicted the conditions of people living in townships. The artist painting career spanned over six decades and provides a remarkable visual history of what he witnessed throughout South Africa's transformation.

This Really helped for learning for my final exams , thank you!

[@sarahrowlands2046]

Excellent video about this amazing artist. Thanks for making it such an interesting lesson. My favorite of his paintings are the emotive ones of children and young people such as ‘no work’ and ‘girl carrying wood’.

Great series, Lillian!!

[@metalsoup6950]

Love your videos and your channel in general!! It's importance shouldn't be understated!! People need to report on these legends in a way that is accessible... Which is exactly what you're doing!! Only tiny suggestion i have is maybe investing in a mic? The sound doesn't fully match the awesome quality of the illustrations and animations! But again, absolutely love your channel!

[@LillianGrayArt]

Well said. This was my first history video done during hard lock down in SA. We do have a much better microphone now.

How did your exam go? Trust it went well.

@@LillianGrayArt yes it went well thank you

[@julesbrown4211]

Thank you for this. I was wondering if you knew if any of Pemba's works are related in any way to the 1938 outbreak of plague in Korsten? I understand he lived through this.

[@LillianGrayArt]

No, I haven't read about this in my research. It would definitely be very relevant today.
