The South African artist William Kentridge has donated his complete set of films, videos, and digital works to the newly renamed George Eastman Museum. Kentridge is known for working in a wide range of media, including animated films created with a succession of charcoal drawings, which he photographs before erasing, made on a single sheet of paper. His gift includes more than 100 works spanning his entire career, from Discourse on a Chair, 1985, to More Sweetly Play the Dance, 2015. It also includes many reels of unedited original camera footage and projection prints.
