South African Artists Recording On Canvas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
South African artists have been recording the epochs of history since the first European colonisers set foot on African soil,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The tribal clans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], indigenous wildlife and vast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], panoramic land and seascapes of the unexplored colonies made for fascinating artistic subjects that were faithfully reproduced by the likes of Thomas Baines and CG Finch-Davies during the mid to late 1800's.
Although art, the world over,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has evolved over time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a heady mix of styles and media eclipsing that of reportage art; contemporary South African artists continue to record the hodgepodge of cultures,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], class and creatures that define South Africa in the 21st century.
Artist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], explorer and fellow of the Royal Geographical Society,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Thomas Baines used his artistic talent to great effect, first as the official war artist during the Cape Frontier Wars and later as artist and cartographer for several Southern African expeditions.
His vast collection of sketches and paintings of the people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], places and wildlife he encountered on his travels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], deep into the hinterland, provide a significant insight into early colonial life.
Baines was one of the first white men to witness the majestic splendour of the Victoria Falls and his wonderfully detailed paintings of the grandeur and striking beauty of the area carry the reputation of being the finest ever!
Finch-Davies was a British soldier and ornithologist who became totally entranced by South Africa's colourful and prolific birdlife,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Posted to remote areas all over the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Finch-Davies began collecting and recording the different bird species in a variety of sketches and paintings that formed the basis of detailed coloured plates, published in editions of popular bird books.
Contemporary South African artists
There are a number of artists who continue to provide a visual diary of contemporary life in South Africa in the form of South African Landscape art and South African Township art,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Errol Norbury's landscapes in oil portray the scenic beauty of the land with singular romanticism, whereas others prefer to create a more thought provoking account of modern South African life.
Post-impressionist, Mauro Chiarla has a copious body of work that depicts and records the day to day chores of the working class in a range of vibrant portraits. His poignant landscapes capture the great divide between the classes, with poor townships overshadowed by the subtle skyline of the big cities.
Eric Oswald Eatwell explores the full spectrum of class in oils that embr
ace both work and leisure whereas the masterful Frank Ross, Katherine Ambrose and Lazarus Ramotseng encapsulate township life in an array of bright,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], boisterous modernistic landscapes in acrylic and mixed media.
