Notes
“For myself, an intuitive happening of this kind made in protestation by apparent destruction should also be considered as an act of construction, I think, especially when related to my work of the Fifties.” Christo Coetzee. PROTESTISM – IS IT ART? Summary of a public lecture at the former SA Association of Arts (Western Cape) in Cape Town on 7 February 1975 published in Muller Ballot. (1999) Christo Coetzee, Cape Town: Human & Rousseau. Page 85.
