Notes
Erik Laubscher and Claude Bouscharain met as young art students at the Académie Montmartre, Paris, in 1951, both studying under the famous artist Fernand Léger. They married and started a family straight away, returning to Cape Town in 1953. The couple's prolonged trip to the USA in 1966 influenced their work in a significant way, especially Claude's, which responded immediately to the hard edged style in America at the time.
