J. H. Pierneef - His Life and Work
A cultural and historical study published in co-operation with the University of Pretoria.
PG Nel - editor
Pierneef had a love of nature which he experienced both as a man and artist. He was a man who understood his people and through his art enriched them spiritually and culturally. This cultural and historical study recognises him as one of the very best of the old South African masters.
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.
A profusely illustrated monograph on the South African artist... reproductions & portraits (some in colour), facsimiles, plans.
Although Pierneef has always been honoured as one of South Africa's 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.' Editor's note.
