HARGREAVES NTUKWANA
HARGREAVES NTUKWANA | ||||
1938 - 1998 | ||||
Hargreaves used the technique of blowing diluted oils onto paper, wiping the excess with cloth and cotton swabs then inking over the colour background when it is dry. Born at Crown Mines in Johannesburg on 17 June, 1938, he went to school locally - and then disappointed his father, a mine clerk, by rejecting medicine as a career and instead studying fine art and music. Hargreaves, who lived in Dlamini, first gained recognition for his art when he designed a cover for the album "Dollar Brand Underground in Africa." Hargreave's first local one man exhibition was held at the Adler Fielding Gallery in Johannesburg in 1967. Other local exhibitions followed in 1972. He exhibited some of his work in Salisbury, now Harare in Zimbabwe, at the African School of Art. His first overseas one man exhibition took place in London in 1973 and from there exhibitions were held in Paris, Munich, Frankfurt, Denhaag and Bonn. |
