William Kentridge joined TIME’s 2009 list of influential people

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

TIME included South African artist William Kentridge in its 2009 list of 100 influential people, with a profile written by Lou Reed. Reed focused on Kentridge’s ability to translate interior states into charcoal drawing, animation, theatre and installation. Discussing works including Preparing the Flute, Artist and Model and Stereoscope, the profile presented his practice as an unusually direct expression of emotion, beauty and shared humanity.
