Notes : By the mid-70s Cecily Sash, already an established artist exhibiting locally and internationally, both independently and as one of the Amadlozi Group and a significant educator at Wits University’s Fine Art Department, had developed a confident style and iconography of abstracted forms based on perceptual reality. Travels in the UK and USA during the mid-60s on an Oppenheimer Grant had exposed her to the prevailing trends in abstraction. Inspired by Op Art artists such as Bridget Riley, she forged a unique style of intellectual abstraction infused with metaphysical ideas.
