Outlook Weekend: My Brush With the Law
Margaret Keane had to paint in a packed courtroom to prove she was the artist she said she was. Mogorosi Motshumi picked up a pencil to fight against apartheid in South Africa.
One of the biggest commercial successes in the 1960s art world was a series of paintings of big-eyed children. The person who took the credit for them was Walter Keane but the true artist was his wife Margaret.
Mogorosi Motshumi is a cartoonist from South Africa. He grew up under the apartheid system and used his skills with a pencil to fight back and share the stories of life under segregation.
