Additional Information
Although Pierneef has always been honoured as one of South Africas most talented and loved artists, there has never been a complete and comprehensive publication on his life and work. From old letters and tributes, many of which are now disclosed for the first time, it becomes obvious that he was a man of many facets.
He was born and lived for the greater part of his life in Pretoria. In 1957 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Pretoria and it is therefore not surprising that the initiative for this work came from Prof. D.M. Joubert, vice-chancellor and rector of the University, himself a great art lover and admirer of Pierneef.
Pierneef: His life and his work contains a highly interesting biography of one of the countrys greatest artists. His love of nature is embodied in a unique way in his work: as he has experienced it as a man and as an artist. He was a man of his people, who through his art enriched our country both spiritually and culturally.
