Winter Sunlight
Provenance : Everard Read Gallery in association with Strauss & Co, Johannesburg, WWF Art Auction, 17 September 2013, lot 7.
The Tasso Foundation Collection of Important South African Art assembled by the Late Giulio Bertrand of Morgenster Estate.
Notes : ‘My paintings are all consciously rendered to give the impression of reality but are based largely on recollections of disparate memories. The subject matter in this work derives from the observation of winter sunlight streaming through the studio window. The figure seen through the window had perhaps been sitting in the chair and now confronts the viewer (or himself) from the outside in a metaphysical way.’
