Uplifting the Colonial Philistine by Jillian Carman
Uplifting the Colonial Philistine - Jillian Carman (Wits University Press, 2006) Carman's very thorough and scholarly book on the genesis of the Johannesburg Art Gallery stands in a category of its own. Based on her doctoral thesis, Carman has unravelled in meticulous detail the creation of the gallery, focused around Randlord wife Florence Phillips and curator Hugh Lane. It contains over 100 reproductions of the original art collection (about half in colour), and reveals previously unknown and unexpected details about the characters involved in the story.
