 JAMES THACKWRAY

LANDSCAPE WITH FIGURES UNDER TREES

OIL AND SIGNED

380 X 480MM

 

The Cape Artist, James Thackwray (1919-1994) has often been compared to his contemporaries and friends such as Alexander Rose-Innes, Maurice von Essche, Professor Edward Roworth, and Professor Alfred Krenz. However, he never achieved the recognition which many feel he deserved, mainly due to his quiet unassuming manner and his failure to conform to the norms of the society in which he was to paint.

The subject of his paintings reect the forced division of the peoples of his country, one which was not a popular subject amongst the artistic intelligentsia of the times. James Thackwray’s magnicent work, “Conversation with a Clown” evokes the feeling and anguish of a country uneasy with itself. The lack of eye contact between the woman and the clown illustrates the segregation and pain that apartheid created, the poignancy of the division evident in both faces.
