Gunther van der Reis was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1927, and came to South Africa with his parents in 1937. He trained at the Michaelis School of Art, and later completed his MA Art at the University of Pretoria. He was an influential lecturer at the Technikon Pretoria until he retired to become a full- time painter in 1988. His abstractionist landscapes are included in all South African collections, and he has represented South Africa on the Venice and Sao Paulo Biennales.
From: Mr. van der Reis
Hi Martin,
It is indeed one of my works. I did a series of crayon drawings of the landscape round Graaf Reinet. They were free interpretations of the landscape. We travelled frequently from Pretoria to Plettenberg Bay and I was very interested in the landscape South of Graaf Reinet. There were about five works in the series, three drawings and two lardish paintings - all in various collections. I am very grateful to see the drawing as I was very lax in keeping records at the time and am now working on documentation so your email is a wonderful surprise.
Best regards
Gunther
