Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Malangatana Valente Ngwenya was a Mozambican painter and poet. He frequently exhibited work under his first name alone. He died on January 5, 2011 in Matosinhos, Portugal. Born in Matalana, a village in the south of Portuguese Mozambique, Ngwenya spent his early life attending mission schools and helping his mother on the farm. At 12 he went to the city of Lourenço Marques to find work, becoming ball boy for a tennis club in 1953. This allowed him to resume his education, and he took classes at night, through which he developed an interest in art. Augusto Cabral, a member of the tennis club, gave him materials and helped him to sell his art. In 1958 Ngwenya attended some functions of Nucleo de Arte, a local artists' organization, and received support from the painter Ze Julio. The next year he exhibited publicly for the first time, as part of a group show; two years later came his first solo exhibition, at the age of 25
