Born in the Springs township outside of Johannesburg, Sam Nhlengethwa received his art diploma from Rorke’s Drift in 1978. His passion for jazz culture is visible in many of his prints, such as this lithograph depicting a musician playing the saxophone. The artist later cofounded the Bag Factory Artist Studio in Johannesburg along with other renowned South African artists such as David Koloane and Patrick Mautloa.
