506 Gladys MGUDLANDLU SOUTH AFRICAN 1 925-1979 House Beyond the Trees signed and dated 1961 gouache 36 by 49cm R30 000–40 000 Elza Miles, (2002) Nomfanekiso, Who Paints at Night , Vlaeberg, Fernwood: Gladys Mgudlandlu is one of the foremost exponents of Expressionism in South Africa. She was never exposed to the art of the schools of Expressionism in Europe as she never set foot outside South Africa. By day she was a school teacher, but at night she painted by the flickering light of a paraffin lamp in her ‘township’house in Cape Town. She arrived at a pristine form of Expressionism that is deeply rooted in the still-uncharted field of indigenous culture. 507 Cecil HIGGS SOUTH AFRICAN 1 898-1986 Still Life with Proteas signed and dated 1946 on the reverse oil on canvas 51 by 63,5cm R30 000–50 000 506 507 PROPERTY FROM THE RODWELL HOUSE COLLECTION | LOTS 495-510 214
