DUMILE: ARTIST IN EXILE?

This text has been extracted from the catalogue: Dumile: Artist in Exile, written and published by Bruce Campbell-Smith in association with Art on Paper in 2004.

One day I was in the Township with this driver and we went past a line of men who were all handcuffed. I don't know what for, maybe for having no pass or something. Anyway the driver said, 'Why don't you ever draw things like that?' I didn't know what to say. Then just when I was still thinking, a funeral for a child came past. A funeral on a Monday morning. You know, all the people in black on a lorry. And as the funeral went past those men in handcuffs, those men watched it go past, and those with hats took off their hats. I said to the guy I was with, 'That's what I want to draw!' (Simon, 1968: 43).
