Notes : Boonzaaier returned from his overseas study trip in 1937 and, together with Terence McCaw, Freida Lock (both of whom studied with him in London) and Lippy Lipschitz, he started the New Group. Very influential in the art world, Boonzaaier became best known for his District Six street scenes with tautly outlined houses and figures; as well as for his landscapes with stark, gnarled trees in the style of Pieter Wenning. Here however, he paints an old house in Vermont, near where he lived at Onrus on the south coast of the Western Cape. Trees, shrubs, foliage, fence, path, sky and buildings are represented with quite thick daubs of paint and loose brushwork in the tradition of an artist like Terence McCaw.
