This is a magnificent book, at once both a poetic and a scholarly reclamation of the authority and integrity of the art in San painting... [Ego] reanimates the paintings for us, reminding us that the pervasive forms of academic iconographical analysis have 'decomposed' them... It is a deeply moving publication. -Pippa Skotnes, author of Miscast: Negotiating the Presence of Bushmen
