Einzelheiten
Herkunft : [Propriété non datée]
- The subject of the store was a theme that Sekoto painted often
- A work of similar title 'The country store, Eastwood' can be found in Lindop's monograph (page 175); the store keeper has similar folded shirtsleeves with the customers in traditional dress
- A similar work 'Outside the Shop' was exhibited (no. 9) at the April 1947 Christi's Gallery, Pretoria exhibition and a further watercolour 'Shop Verandah' was exhibited (no 28) at the July 1947 Gainsborough Galleries, Johannesburg exhibition
- The use of bodycolour (or as the artist called it 'poster paint') is typical of Sekoto's earlier Sophiatown works and he continued with its use into the the mid 1940s
- We are grateful to Barbara Lindop for her assistance in the cataloguing of this lot
