Notes : Inscribed on the reverse: "Collaboration painting begun by Robert Hodgins and completed by Jan Neethling" Robert Hodgins and Jan Neethling met at art school and Robert's tongue-in-cheek comment about Jan at the time was to enquire what a young man was doing at College wearing garage pants - denim jeans - when the dress code was strictly suit-and-tie for both students and lecturers. This detail of dress indicated something of the irreverent attitude towards convention that became the hallmark of both artists throughout their careers. Says Jan: 'Robert Hodgins was the most stupid and most clever person I had ever met. He was the most inventive artist that I had ever known. When he was full of […] you knew he was in good form. He was also my best friend.' - Jan Neethling
