Notes
Martin Bekker, (1991) The Art of Alexander Rose Innes, Cape Town, Perskor:
Above all, Rose-Innes is a painter of people. Although he enjoys painting men engaged in diverse pursuits...he prefers to paint women. Few other South African artists have depicted women so consistently, so exhaustively; women engaged in feminine activities such as combing their hair, doing their make-up, preening in front of the mirror; leggy nudes, in soft-to-the-touch pink - bosomy promises of pneumatic bliss; oh-so-feminine boudoir scenes of women draped in frilly dresses, cascades of lace stressing their frail beauty.
