Notes
“My work is my handwriting. People must recognise it as my own. My style, with all its shortcomings and limitations, is a part of me. I am not one who believes in or likes experimentation for its own sake, or too many different styles. I think an artist can achieve far more if he develops his own style to full maturity. It is better for a man to walk a straight course than to waste time by exploring each little by way”1— Gregoire Boonzaier, 1976
