About this Item

South African 1955-
Traditional Blues

signed and dated 2004

mixed media on canvas
59,5 by 54cm excluding frame; 80 by 75 by 4,5cm including frame

Notes

Traditional Blues is a quintessential example of a Slingsby work, with petroglyphic iconography, ethnographic objects and stylised lines suggesting shapes. The compartmentalised portrait makes use of a personal lexicon which he developed over 50 years of painting.
