Anmerkung : "When [Verster] portrays a landscape, his concern is not with the details of its physical reality, but with a setting in which human presence has been felt, with the ambience of an environment from which man is only temporarily absent. Thus, the heightened sense of isolation in his many views of deserted beaches, often stacked with empty deckchairs; or the fragmentary gardens glimpsed through windows, which are imbued with a compelling intimacy by the implication that the onlooker shares the prospect with an unseen viewer in the room." - Esmé Berman1 1.Esmé Berman (1996) Art and Artists of South Africa, Johannesburg: South Book, page 476.
