Read No Time Like the Present: A Novel Online
Authors: Nadine Gordimer
Nadine Gordimer thanks those whose own works mean much to her—
Karel Nel, whose painting is used on the cover of this book, is a South African artist of world renown. Examples of his work hang in the collections of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A collector of African, Asian and Oceanic art, he advises museums in London, Paris and New York. He visualises art in terms of the continuing expansion of consciousness, his own work now in the exploratory vision where art meets science. He participates as artist-in-residence in an international astronomy project which is mapping two degrees square of the universe.
