Gerard Sekoto (South African, 1913-1993) The Store watercolour and bodycolour 20 x 29cm (7 7/8 x 11 7/16in). unframed. Footnotes: The subject of the store was a theme that Sekoto painted often. A work of similar title 'The country store, Eastwood' can be found in Lindop's monograph (page 175); the store keeper has similar folded shirtsleeves with the customers in traditional dress. A similar work 'Outside the Shop' was exhibited (no. 9) at the April 1947 Christi's Gallery, Pretoria exhibition and a further watercolour 'Shop Verandah' was exhibited (no 28) at the July 1947 Gainsborough Galleries, Johannesburg exhibition. The use of bodycolour (or as the artist called it 'poster paint') is typical of Sekoto's earlier Sophiatown works and he continued with its use into the the mid 1940s. We are grateful to Barbara Lindop for her assistance in the cataloguing of this lot. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
