45 ALEXANDER PODLASHUC Die Ware Rubicon signed and dated 1994 oil on canvas 103 x 55 cm Podlashuc Collection “Pod’s retort to PW Botha’s 1985 Rubicon speech was to re-work Sam Nzima’s 1976 image of Hector Pieterson being carried by Mbuyisa Makhubu. The lost generation of 1976 he saw as a bridge too far, the repercussions of which he felt the regime had failed to understand at all.” Leo Podlashuc
