GREGOIRE BOONZAIER 1909-2005
Gregoire Boonzaier was born in Newlands, Cape Town in 1909. He was the son of the political cartoonist, DC Boonzaier, and benefited from the close contact with his fathers artist friends, including Pieter Wenning, Nita Spilhaus and Moses Kottler, the sculptor. Gregoire was given his first paint box by Kottler in 1922, and received an easel from Nita Spilhaus in 1926. DC Boonzaier was strongly opposed to formal art training, and Gregoires initial studies were possible through association with these early Cape Impressionist painters.
Gregoire Boonzaier died on 22 April 2005, a few months before his 96th birthday, having lived an extraordinary life and productive career, during which he was able to serve as a mentor and teacher to generations of South African artists and art lovers.
