Notes

Under his brush, with successive overlays of scumbling, Gregoire was able to imbue these Georgian facades of the Bo-Kaap with a credible textured patina. Painted in 1967 and based on countless pencil and pastel drawings executed in situ, enabled him to concretise these observations of this community onto the surface of a canvas.

Literature

Martin Bekker (1990) Gregoire Boonzaier, Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, page 63 where a similar work is illustrated.
