Artists inspired by Venice
About the SessionSouth African artists have often been inspired by Venice. This session includes artists on the April Online-Only Auction who have drawn from the city in their artistic oeuvre, as the art world converges on Venice for the 59th edition of the Venice Biennale in late April. This special sale coincides with Strauss & Co’s sponsorship of the African Art in Venice Forum 2022 at Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal on 20 and 21 April.

Notes
Robert Gwelo Goodman traveled widely in Europe and had an affection for Italy. He visited Venice in 1910 and was taken by the dancing light so unique to the city.
In most minds, Gwelo was a painter of evocative landscapes. The present lot takes us up into the wintry Drakensberg, with Mont-aux-Sources on the horizon and the nearer peaks and rockfaces glinting in the sunshine.
