On The Mines (1973) - By David Goldblatt
"This unusual and lavish book represents a rare combination of the work of a writer and a photographer both born and bred on the Witwatersrand - the famous Reef of Gold in South Africa. In their unique yet complementary ways, they interpret its present paradox of death and renewed life."
Some Afrikaners Photographed (1975) - By David Goldblatt
"This book richly reveals the people David Goldblatt has photographed and something of their world and their time. But Some Afrikaners Photographed is not an attempt at definition. It is the personal vision of a man aware of his own identity who has tried through his camera to find and grasp the identity of others. In doing this he has transcended the 'we' and the 'them' which so dominate relations within South Africa."
In Boksburg (1982) - By David Goldblatt
"These photographs are about life in a small-town, middle-class, white community in South Africa."
Thirty-five years of Photographs (1983) - By David Goldblatt
"An exhibition organised by the South African National Gallery."
Lifetimes: Under Apartheid (1986) - By David Goldblatt
"This book brings together extracts from the widely-acclaimed novels and stories of Nadine Gordimer and the remarkable photographs of David Goldblatt."
South Africa: the Structure of Things Then (1998) - By David Goldblatt
"David Goldblatt's work is about buildings and structures in the South African landscape. It is, in part, about actual structures - bricks, mortar, mud, and corrugated iron. But it is also about ideological structuring: about the mental constructs that underpinned the structures of South Africa in its colonial era and more specifically, the apartheid years, the locust years, of its recent past. What Goldblatt has done is to frame these physical structures in terms of photographic constructs which, cumulatively and compellingly, reveal the many ways in which ideology has shaped our landscape."
Photographs (2006) - By David Goldblatt
"David Goldblatt is an exemplary documentary photographer. He has been photographing his home country of South Africa for over 50 years and has documented the struggles and changes in this volatile and compelling country. Goldblatt is still shooting now, with the same consistent enthusiasm that has been his hallmark throughout his long career."
