Abstract
The work o f the South African artist Walter Battiss has in the existing literature
been analysed and discussed in relation to his biography or in general descriptive
terms. In contrast my project aims at revealing the confluence of the Modernist
avant-garde notions of the “Primitive” and the anthropological project in Battiss’
work.
