Literature

Philippa Hobbs and Elizabeth Rankin. (2011) Listening to Distant Thunder: The Art of Peter Clarke. Johannesburg: Standard Bank. Illustrated in colour on page 130.

"A print of the 1980s may be one of the few exceptions to Clarke's virtual embargo of Ocean View as a subject: A place on the hilltop, which the artist identifies as the landscape of hills and umbrella pines that can be seen in the distance from his front door."
