About the artwork

Often termed the “father of the nation” in his native South Africa, Nelson Mandela (also referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba) is widely hailed as one of the great freedom fighters of the twentieth century.

He stands before a similarly transformed South African flag—the same one adopted in 1994, the year he became the country’s first black president.
