3. 2015-11-17 | Gregoire Johannes Boonzaier \(South African 1909\-2005\) FIGURES IN A EUROPEAN VILLAGE signed and dated 1936 oil on canvas 54 by 69cm In 1934 at the age of twenty\-four Boonzaier went to Europe. He studied at the Heatherley School of Art and the Central School of Arts and Crafts. His focus was to excel in drawing and to learn the printing techniques of lithography and etching, which in his later life, he applied mainly to producing linocuts. During the end of his stay in Europe he travelled to France, Portugal and Spain visiting galleries and exhibitions and studied the work of Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh and Utrillo. Their respective influences detracted somewhat from his originality. Nevertheless, the deviation facilitated to develop Boonzaier’s unique style and painterly skills \[1\]. The present painting, Lot 695, was painted in Spain and beautifully captures a typical European atmosphere of a village, showing Boonzaier’s talent to interpret his surroundings. His European experiences also opened up an appetite for experimentation with novel ways to express his love for painting impressionistic and expressionistic works. The particular styles of the painters who influenced Boonzaier disappeared from his work following his return to South Africa in 1936; only occasionally can one detect references to them. The influence of Utrillo was more lasting and may still be seen in his paintings of simple street scenes; Lot 678 in the Catalogue. The pallet of Braque appealed to his own sense of colour and Boonzaier was one of the first South African artists to paint in the cubist manner. Lot 681, in the catalogue, presents a fine example where his advanced ideas incorporated a Braque influence. Boonzaier's European work was well appreciated in the UK. His paintings were hung on two occasions at the Royal Academy and he was also accepted on exhibitions of the London Group, the New English Art Club and the Royal Institute of painters in oil. F. P.
