Alexander, Keith Savel (South African 1946 - 1998)Tractor in
shedOil on canvas, signed, 8055 x 75,5cm R45 000 R55 000
P54
Almost two thirds of this immaculately detailed painting is
expended on the sky. And not the majestic sky typically captured in
romanticised landscape paintings, but a midday sky in the
platteland of southern Africa. Keith Alexander is famous for his
paintings of seeming nothingness. Here, a small tractor stands
forlorn under the meagre shade of a shed. There is nothing bar a
few scattered trees for miles. The grass around the tractor
suggests that perhaps it has been out of use for some time. The
work that Alexander is commonly lauded for are his hyper-real
surrealist visions of the Namib desert, which have a
post-apocalyptic feel for the way they blend the sublime landscape
and the ruins of mans existence. In this more subtle painting,
Alexander is still able to capture this sense, but in a way that
sits quietly, almost ominously beneath the surface.

canvas, signed60 x 50cm R30 000 R50 000
P79
A common subject in the 18th through the 20th century, the
rendering of the body while bathing arguably began as a demure way
in which to depict the nude fi gure. In later years, as an
established subject, artists used it as a base for stylistic
experiments. Notably, the French Post-Impressionist painter, Paul
Czanne began to image groups of bathers in naturalistic settings,
near lakes and in wooded groves. In this unusual work by Norman
Catherine, two male fi gures lie in corpse-like poses near the edge
of a dam. Peering at them from a few meters away is a hyena-like
animal, which seems to be strangely glowing. The image, which we
see from above, is simultaneously eerie and playful. The fi gures
each wear a tight-fi tting swimming costume in the style pioneered
by Speedo International Ltd. in the 1950s, which, in addition to
their muscular torsos, suggests that the two fi gures might be
sunbathing. In contrast the atmosphere and lighting of the scene,
as well as the odd glow of the animal, give the sense that this is
taking place at night. Hazel Freidman suggests that Catherines work
is predominantly gender-specifi c, often depicting males as
castrated monsters. This is often contrasted with a symbol of
femininity: principally seen in the symbolic sense, through
Catherines technicolour depictions of nature. This artwork seems to
conform to this interpretation, supporting Friedmans argument that:
In Catherines work nature is not a pastoral paradise. It is either
an anarchic jungle, a toxic wasteland, the site of grotesque
experiments or a battle zone where primal confl icts of power and
powerlessness are played out.

for The DanceOil on canvas, signed, 4736 x 28,4cm R150 000 R200
000
P83
Ready for The Dance is a painting of a young Xhosa woman in an
ethnographic style typical of the time. George Pemba was likely to
have been infl uenced by his contemporaries including Dorothy Kay
and Barbara Tyrell, with whom he exhibited in the 1940s. It is also
likely that this painting was shown at an exhibition of painting
and beadwork organised by Killie Campbell at in 1947, or
alternatively at Pembas solo show in Port Elizabeth in 1948. The
title, as well as the dress of the subject and her slightly
submissive seated pose on a straw mat, suggests that she is imaged
before the Ntonjaan initiation ceremony, which marks the transition
into adulthood. The attention to detail in the painting allows us
insight into the cultural specifi city of the moment. The subject
wears a short, wrap-around, red skirt, an unomtidili nesipeliti. On
her forehead, she wears headband, an idayimane, associated with
courtship. In addition to this detail, or perhaps, despite this,
Pemba captures a particular tension in this small and intimate
painting. The dramatic light, which casts a shadow on the left of
the subject, her resigned and pensive expression, and the nervous
tension in her fi ngers, suggests much more than a simple study of
an ethnographic type.

Moshekwa Langa takes inspiration from his daily life, its
routine, its boredom, and indifference. His practice is almost
biographical in that sense his artworks are a record of his
experiences, his movement through places, and of the people he
meets. As a child he began drawing as a process of map-making;
making sense of his place in the world. This abstracted portrait of
a music man has clear traces of mapping conventions, blue pools and
red roofs are simple shapes of colour, and pathways are simple
lines. The fi gure, who is arguably the music man the title refers
to, is almost lost within all this detail a small white fi gure on
the edge of a large pond. On another level, the image suggests a
conceptual mapping perhaps of sound or rhythm. Langa says of his
work: the drawings and collages for me function like diaries and
time keepers, so even using or implicating vinyl grooves, strings
of thread, branches, wools, I think give a sense of
timekeeping.
