Notes
Marianne Podlashuc was born in the Netherlands in 1932 and studied at the Rotterdam Academy before emigrating to South Africa in 1952. She settled in Bloemfontein and, with her husband Alexander Podlashuc, was a founding member of the Bloemfontein Group. The couple relocated to Port Elizabeth in 1964 when Alexander accepted a teaching post at the city's technical college.
'Marianne Podlashuc is possessed of a profound social consciousness and projects it in powerful stylized images of lesser privileged local communities. Her composition is unconventional; she handles the internal pictorial space with a sense of the dramatic; her figures are conceived monumentally with emphasis on plastic volumes.'
