Review 2011

“Dorothy Kay produced a number of superbly analytical, sharply focussed self-portraits, devoid of flattery and infused with ironic humour.” Marion Arnold, Women and Art in South Africa , 1996, St. Martin’s Press, New York, page 126. “Her late self-portraits are suffused with wonderful honesty. These studies of the mature artist unite formal concerns and cool scrutiny of the self as subject and object.” Marion Arnold, Women and Art in South Africa , 1996, St. Martin’s Press, New York, page 126.
