Notes

“Vir die meeste van ons kliënte was hy toe nog onbekend en twee van sy drie skilderye by ons Desember 1998 tentoonstelling is nie verkoop nie. Die was ek maar te gretig om self te koop. Dit was Three Women from Berlin (my gunsteling) en die stillewe Red Table.”

“He was still unknown to most of our customers at the time and two of his three paintings at our December 1998 exhibition were not sold. I was only too eager to buy them myself. It was Three Women from Berlin (my favourite) and the still life Red Table.” —Dr Matthys J Strydom, 2021
