Name of Artist | Hargreaves Ntukwana (South African, 1938 - 1998) |
Title of work | Abstract figure |
Medium | Mixed media on paper |
Description of artwork | Hargreaves used a technique of blowing diluted oils onto paper, wiping the excess with cloth and cotton swabs then inking over the colour background when it is dry. This artwork is of a standing figure, and is signed H. Ntukwana in lower right corner. Born at Crown Mines in Johannesburg on 17 June, 1938, he went to school locally - and then disappointed his father, a mine clerk, by rejecting medicine as a career and instead studying fine art and music. He worked as a messenger and a clerk to pay for his tuition in fine art, including a spell at the Artists' Colony in Toledo, Spain where he studied under the master Costa Lidas who died at the age of 100 in 1979. His more recent exhibitions abroad were in Denmark, Zurich and San Diego in February 1986. He has also exhibited at the Oglethorpe University Art Gallery in Atlanta Georgia in the late 1980's. Hargreaves passed away in 1998. |
