William Kentridge is a prominent contemporary South African artist known for his animated films, which are created by filming drawings that evolve through erasure and modification. He was born on April 28, 1955, in Johannesburg. Kentridge studied politics and African studies at the University of the Witwatersrand and later pursued fine arts at the Johannesburg Arts Foundation. He initially aimed to be an actor after training in miming and theater in Paris but redirected his efforts toward art. His unique creative process involves giving each drawing a screen time of 1/4 to 2 seconds.
