Notes
Studying under Maurice van Essche and Sidney Goldblatt in the early 1940s, Hannatjie van der Wat emerged in the 1960s to embrace abstraction. Moving through eras of abstract expressionism to analytical abstraction and then to geometric abstraction, the artist kept her use of vivid colours consistent throughout her work. Van der Wat’s work has attracted international attention, particularly in Brazil where she was honored twice by the Brazilian Academy of Fine Arts, and participated in the Brazilian Women’s Ten Women Award of 2006 in the Arts Category.Literature
