[QUOTE="Snipsa, post: 31143, member: 350"]Thanks 'Nuff! That reference has opened my eyes to a few possibilities. There is, of course, the reference to "Coetzee" as photographed on the back of the painting. The 16 Celliers Street could possibly refer to Celliers Str here in Pretoria which is just around the corner from the art museum. The 1951 date seems quite early but that was just before Coetzee's first big exhibition in Cape Town (in 1952 according to one of the art history sites I found) And again, a gallery in Cape Town stamped the painting (cant make out the name of the gallery but Cape Town can be made out). And of course there is the 1962 painting of flowers in a vase which has more than just a few of the same features (I'm including that photo to this post). Think I'll have to take the painting to the art museum in the New Year and see if someone there can confirm our thoughts.... Although you're not talking Pierneef or Boonzaaier, Coetzee wasn't a slouch either... Would love to have a confirmed painting of his hanging in our home... [ATTACH=full]7873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
