175 206 John Meyer SOUTH AFRICAN 1942– The Debt II signed; signed and inscribed with the title and ‘2276’on the reverse oil on canvas 90 by 120 cm R350 000 – 500 000 The present lot is the second of three paintings in one of John Meyer’s ‘sequential narratives’– series of three paintings of moments in the lives of the protagonists that are just seconds apart, like three frames in a movie. These images present us ‘with strikingly real illusions, all distinctly familiar, yet ultimately invented. They are imagined archetypes rather than specific events … exploring the complex currents of human relationships’. 1 1. https://www.everard-read-capetown.co.za/artist/JOHN_MEYER/biography/.
