176 245 Jack Heath BRITISH/SOUTH AFRICAN 1915–1969 Thorns, Thornveld Study signed and dated 1966 on the reverse gouache on paper sheet size: 57 by 39 cm R15 000 – 20 000 246 Jack Heath BRITISH/SOUTH AFRICAN 1915–1969 Venusian Apartments signed, dated 1961 and inscribed with the title on the reverse Indian ink and watercolour on paper sheet size: 50,5 by 38 cm R12 000 – 16 000 The scale and substance of Jack Heath’s major paintings are in sharp contrast to his humorous, madcap, and hugely inventive works on paper. In this light, Venusian Apartments has at its centre a fantastical geometric construction, linked together by lozenges, squares and strips of translucent pinks, blues and purples, surrounded by blasts of yellow and green from behind an intricate, combed motif.
