J.H. Pierneef: A Space for Landscape
J.H. Pierneef: A Space for Landscape brings together a wealth of paintings and prints from numerous collections to create the first major Pierneef exhibition in many years. It also includes a selection of works by artists who have both responded to, and undermined, Pierneef’s iconic status.
This theme of iconoclasm is particularly timely given the renewed debate in South Africa about images, symbols and figures from the country’s contested past.
