Nomfanekiso Who Paints at Night: The art of Gladys Mgudlandlu , Vlaeberg: Fernwood Press. Illustrated in colour on page 61, plate 61. ‘I don’t particularly belong to any school of art. It’s a mixture of expressionism and impressionism – but I like to call myself a Dreamer-Imaginist.’– Gladys Mgudlandlu Concurring, Elza Miles has noted that the artist’s method of free interpretation is untainted by formalist techniques. 1 In The Fall , the dream-like quality of the work may be an interpretative depiction of Adam and Eve driven out of Eden. 1 Elza Miles (2002).
