The
exhibition combines 17th-century still life paintings from Iziko’s
European collections with a survey of South African still life works
drawn from collections around the country. Although initially an
imitation of European practice, specific South African trends in
Still Life later emerged, and these include approaches which
‘Africanise’ this centuries-old genre. Now, says Michael Godby, “a
new generation of young artists has appropriated the genre and
reinvested the subject with powerful new social meanings.”
