52 185 Johannes Maswanganyi SOUTH AFRICAN 1949– Leopard Attacking a Man signed carved and painted wood height: 150; width: 85 cm; depth: 60 cm R30 000 – 50 000 186 Henry Davies SOUTH AFRICAN 1944– Flowerbox carved and painted wood height: 114 cm; width: 34 cm R20 000 – 30 000 ITEM NOTES In Henry Davies’ impressive stylistic range, dominant forms might be rigid, calculated and hard-edged, or sky-reaching, organic and rounded like those of Flowerbox , the present lot. This work shows the artist’s attention to detail, his technical care and his broad imagination. With the output of the likes of Peter Schütz, Keith Alexander and Jeremy Wafer (all of them contemporaries or students of Davies) in mind, it also gives an indication of his significant influence. 187 Lucky Sibiya SOUTH AFRICAN 1942–1999 Untitled (Totem) carved, incised and painted wood with nails on a wood and steel base height: 280 cm including base; width: 55 cm; depth: 26 cm R25 000 – 35 000
