EXPLORING THE ART OF THE EASTERN CAPE 1914 - 2013
25 January – 14 July 2013
Which artists had the greatest influence on the art of the Eastern Cape? We reflect on the trend-setters of the past and the innovators who are shaping the art of the future.
THE EASTERN CAPE OF THE EXPLORERS
5 February – 2 June 2013
In the 19th Century, Europeans looked on Africa as a frontier ripe for exploration and exploitation. The Eastern Cape saw it fair share of naturalists, missionaries, soldiers and businessmen who made a painted record of their discoveries to send back “Home”. These artworks show us the landscape of this time as seen through their eyes.
