George Diederick During was born in Roodepoort in 1917. After completing matric at King Edward VII School in Johannesburg, he attended the University of the Witwatersrand where he obtained a BA LLB. During worked in his father’s legal firm for two years but in 1944, his passion for art saw him signing up at the Wits Technikon.
