Burden Maart 2000 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za/ VERKLARING Ek, die ondergetekende, verklaar hiermee dat die werk in hierdie proefskrif vervat, my eie oorspronklike werk is en dat ek dit nie vantevore in die geheel of gedeeltelik by enige ander universiteit ter verkryging van 'n graad voorgele het nie. HANDTEKENING DATUM Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za/ OPSOMMING Die term Art Deco is afgelei van die wereldbekende 1925-uitstalling wat in Parys, Frankryk plaasgevind het, naamlik L'Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, en het eers in 1966 in gebruik gekom. Dit verwys na die styl wat gedurende die 1920's ontwikkel het en 'n hoogtepunt in die 1930's bereik het. Art Deco is 'n modemistiese styl en vorm deel van die Modeme Beweging. Daar bestaan vele vervormings, vermengings en vertakkings van die styl. Die gedaantes wat die styl aangeneem het, het van die avant-garde na die klassieke gewissel. Dit was 'n volkome of totale styl wat op diverse terreine van die stoflike en geestelike kultuur tot uiting gekom het, byvoorbeeld in meubelontwerp, kleredrag, motorontwerp en veral ook in die argitektuur. Die tydperk tussen die twee wereldoorloe was tekenend van snelle vooruitgang op tegnologiese gebied, wat aangewend is om Art Deco-produkte te vervaardig.

But within the limits of the space, the examples that are being shown here testify to the place and the importance of the artist in Anglo-Jewish life. one hopes that the community will be so impressed by these exhibits that it will support the work of the Ben Uri, to enable it at a later date to organise a larger and more comprehensive showing of the works of the Anglo-Jewish artists. The-first comprehensive Jewish Art Exhibition held in this country was in l906 at the lhThitechapel Art Gallery.

  • Collecting South African Art in the 1930S: the Role of Martin Du Toit
    Historia 53,1, Mei/May 2008, pp 162-196 Collecting South African Art in the 1930s: The Role of Martin du Toit ∗ Jeanne van Eeden Introduction This article indicates the role Professor Marthinus (Martin) Lourens du Toit (1897-1938) played as a patron of South African visual art in the 1930s. During the time that he was head of the Department of Afrikaans Art and Culture at the University of Pretoria between 1931 and 1938, Martin du Toit (Figure 1) initiated a series of art exhibitions in the Macfadyen Hall to display the work of contemporary, often contentious artists. The university wished to support artists and provided this exhibition space free of charge. As a token of appreciation, many artists donated an artwork at the end of the exhibition.1 Du Toit used these exhibitions as a starting point in building up a representative collection of South African art, which he augmented with donations from artists and art collectors. This article suggests that Martin du Toit and the Department of Afrikaans Art and Culture fulfilled an important role by attempting to instil an appreciation for art in Pretoria through regular exhibitions and by laying the foundations for an institutional art collection. This form of academic patronage of South African artists seems to have been rare in the 1930s, and took place during a decisive period regarding the politicised debates concerning ethnicity, modernism, nationalism, and national art, and their relation to cultural identity and artistic expression. In this article, I refer to relevant aspects of these issues and relate them to the discourse of art collecting in the 1930s where possible,2 but do not engage in a discussion of the artworks as such.

  • Sculptures at Wits
    Heritage Through the years Wits has installed or acquired many sculptures in visible and public spaces on its campuses. By Katherine Munro and Natalie Knight 00 WITSReview April 2012 ProfileProfofiille Mindshapes Sculptures at Wits Aprilril 20122012 WITSWITSReviewReview 00 Heritage he University has recently received a major donation of two large bronze T sculptures created by the late Herman Wald. The donation was made by the artist’s son Louis Wald, a Wits alumnus, and throws the spotlight on the public sculptures in the Wits collection. A tour of the public works on the Wits Campus should prove to be a source of pleasure and enable the visitor to connect with our heritage. We have surveyed and explored about 30 such artworks. We hope to encourage the donation of new works of art and see new artists being encouraged by 21st century patrons. Wits Art Museum, which will be opening in May 2012 in the revamped University Corner (the old Lawson’s Corner skyscraper), has a large selection of sculptures which will be displayed on specific exhibitions. Our focus in this article is to record the sculptural work that is accessible to the public. These works include freestanding three- dimensional outdoor sculptures, incised relief panels on exterior buildings and indoor wooden art benches for use by students. Commissioned busts and statues are not included in this article. Public art should enhance the environment and serve a purpose. It should provide a reason to pause for a moment to reflect on life. The artwork may recall sad events, delight or inspire, or in its very shape be a point of social harmony and relaxation.
