About the Item
Nelson Mandela, The Ward, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph
Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw.
In this piece, Nelson Mandela has drawn The Ward (prison hospital) on Robben Island. This piece comes in 3 parts. The Colour Lithograph, the Motivation and the Photograph. The colour lithograph bears Nelson Mandela's pencil signature, whilst the signature on the motivation is printed from the plate. The photograph has been signed in pencil by the photographer, Grant Warren.
Artist’s Motivation: “On Robben Island, political and general prisoners were kept well apart. The only place where we could talk and share information with other inmates was in the prison hospital – and that thereby became more than just an infirmary. The hospital I have sketched here served as a vital link between us and the rest of the world. Through the hospital, news about our families, our friends, the struggle and everyday event outside the prison would trickle through. It became one of our most important life lines to the outside world.
On arrival at the prison, all new prisoners were sent to the hospital for medical observation. On arrival one of the political detainees would feign illness and thereby gain access to the same space in the hospital where they would share their news with us.
As time passed, the news became less depressing as we realised that the apartheid regime was weakening, that the voice of our struggle was being heard in the outside world and that a great wave of support was growing for all the people of South Africa.
Today I remember the stark hospital wards with fondness…These memories, like this sketch are filled with joyous colours.” Nelson Mandela
An edition of 350 lithographs was launched on Robben Island in 2003.
