DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION
DESCRIPTION	A really beautiful, unusual and large original pastel (with outlining of charcoal) artwork depicting FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY. Drawn by the listed and very accomplished late South African artist BEN MACALA (1938 - 1997). The artwork is done on paper and it is framed in a very extensive and expensive broad gilded frame with an inner frame, mount and protected by glass. The artist has signed the artwork at bottom right. The painting measures 900 mm x 1150 mm in the frame and the artwork alone measures 600 x 850 mm (it is very big). You can see the artwork as it is sold in the image above. There are more images and further particulars below. Please have a look at them and ask a question if there is anything you are unsure about.
CONDITION	Both the artwork and frame are in good condition and it can be hung as is.

NOTES
BEN MACALA needs no introduction to the South African art lover and collector. The artist died at the relatively young age of 59 after a productive period of about 30 years during which his art output showed constant improvement and refinement in quality. He exhibited extensively (including 13 times in the USA) and had as tutors and mentors Cecil Skotness, Ephraim Ngatane and Bill Ainslee. The artwork on offer here was produced late in his life and it is unusual in that it shows 3 female figures. The artwork is also extensively and beautifully framed. I believe that South African Black art from the earlier Black artists has not come to it's own from a point of view of value and that the painting on offer here is an EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE at the low price at which it is offered.

The Biblical depiction of Faith, Hope and Charity (1 Corintheans 13:13). The 3 human qualities which allows man to share God's nature.
