# William Kentridge: Notes Towards a Model Opera - Hardcover

by **William Kentridge** (Artist), **Karen Marta** (Editor), **Alfreda Murck** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

To accompany William Kentridge's (born 1955) _Notes Towards a Model Opera_ project in China, the artist's personal notebooks--filled with annotations, drawings and ideas--were meticulously reproduced in this eponymous publication to allow the reader into Kentridge's own thought process. With an in-depth profile of Kentridge by author Andrew Solomon, and essays by China art historian Alfreda Murck and UCCA director Philip Tinari, _Notes Towards a Model Opera_ is a personal exploration of the layered meanings behind the aesthetics and ideals of socialist China as well as an exploration of the artist himself.
