Cecil Edwin Frans Skotnes (1929-2009)


Sydney Alex Kumalo (South African 1935-1988) Moses'S Disciple Bronze Provenanceacquired Directly From The Artist. Authenticated By The Artist'S Family. Height: 31Cm Sydney Kumalo Started His Career At The Polly Street Art Centre In 1953 Receiving Classes From Cecil Skotnes. Between 1958 And 1960 He Worked For The Sculptor Edoardo Villa To Gain Experience. After His First Commissions For Churches In Kroonstad And Orlando His Career Took Off And By The Mid-1960S He Was Hailed As One Of South Africa’S Greatest Sculptors. Moses And His Disciples (Aaron And Joshua) Were Originally Part Of Three Free-Standing Figures Sold As A Set And Exhibited At The Goodman Gallery In Johannesburg As Well As The Ann Zinn Gallery In Cape Town During 1979. After The Exhibition Kumalo Agreed That The Sculptures Should Be Sold Individually. The Sculptures Were Cast In An Edition Of 5.In 1982 The Cape Town Civic Centre Commissioned Kumalo To Create A Bronze For The Centre. Kumalo Created Four Maquettes Namely The Matriarch, The Blessing, Joy I And Joy Ii. The Work Titled, The Blessing Was Chosen, And Joy Ii Seems To Have Only Been Cast For The Artist In An Edition Of 1.Sydney Kumalo Passed Away In 1988. Following His Death The Goodman Gallery And The Artist’S Family Continued To Cast Work Posthumously. For This Reason There Are Several Works By The Artist That Were Only Cast After His Death, Especially Those Works With Higher Edition Numbers And Works That Were Created Later In His Life. What Is The Difference You Might Ask? Although A Posthumous Cast Is Not Considered Fake, The Complete Work Was Not Approved By The Artist And In Some Art Circles It Is Seen As An Inadequate Representation Of The Artist’S Work And Therefore Not An Original. Although They Can Be Of The Same Quality Of Finishing They Will Have A Lesser Value In The Secondary Art Market. Cdk
