Notes
This lively plein air painting of Windhoek was painted in 1923, during the artist's first visit to Namibia.
His excitement in this work is palpable; conjuring the town through a responsive use of varied wet-on-wet paint applications, uniting compositional elements through glowing light, energised mark-making and vibrant colour. Few paintings of Windhoek were painted, and fewer are imbued with such crisp splendour.
Provenance
