Notes
The short-lived but gregarious Judith Gluckman, who died aged forty-six in 1961, was once a prominent figure, principally in Johannesburg and Pretoria art circles. Although physically imposing, she suffered from continuous bouts of poor health. Gluckman was known for her life-long friendship with Alexis Preller. The two studied and worked together in Paris before returning to South Africa shortly before the outbreak of WW2.
It was after Gluckman returned from Paris in 1938 that she befriended Gerard Sekoto whom she taught to use oil paints.1
