Notes
Alan Crump distinguished himself as a watercolourist with an unrivalled mastery of this notoriously difficult medium. He was driven by a fearless vision of excellence and his watercolours are a testament to his unwavering vision and consummate skill as an artist.
Crump is perhaps best remembered as an important and influential arts administrator in the South African art world and as Professor of Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, where he had a significant influence on generations of students. A major retrospective of his work was held at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and at the National Festival of the Arts in Grahamstown in 2011.
