Demas Nwoko (Nigerian, born 1935)Baba Kokoro signed and dated 'Demas Nwoko/ 16/11/65' (lower left); further signed and dated 'Demas Nwoko/ 1965' (verso)gouache on paper56 x 38cm (22 1/16 x 14 15/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired directly from the artist;A private collection. Demas Nwoko, a leading figure in Nigerian modernism, is best known as a founding member of the Zaria Art Society, a student group at the Nigerian College of Art, Science and Technology, Zaria that became key players in the development of postcolonial modernism in Nigeria in the early 1960s. The groups significance lies in its insistence on developing a new art based on Nigerian and African traditional aesthetics, forms and processes, but with a modernist sensibility similar to that of the European avant-garde. This idea, theorized by his friend, Professor Uche-Okeke, as Natural Synthesis defined Nwoko's work as a painter, sculptor, teacher, theatre director, designer and architect. In this 1965 painting, Nwoko presents an image of reminiscent of the well-known musician and entertainer of the day, Baba Kokoro. Kokoro (Omoba Benjamin Aderounmu, 1925-2009), was a widely known blind entertainer from Lagos, Nigeria. He was born into a royal family in Owo, Ondo State, and became blind when he was aged ten. He developed a unique style of singing accompanied first by a drum, later by a tambourine. He moved to Lagos in 1947, where he became exposed to major local musicians such as Ayinde Bakare, Bobby Benson and Victor Olaiya. In the 1960s and 1970s he featured regularly on Federal and local radio stations and was widely respected for the depth and wisdom of his lyrics. An early pioneer of Jùjú music, he sang in Yoruba about love, money, conflicts and urban decadence.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Pieter Hugo Naudé (South African, 1869-1941)Untitled signed 'Naudé' (lower right)oil on board29 x 37.8cm (11 7/16 x 14 7/8in).(framed)Footnotes:Drawing on Naudé's European training, the present lot embodies the impressionist motifs of his time whilst acting as a pioneer for Neorealism back in his home of Worcester. His broad, impasto brushstrokes display his focus on form and colour, while the scene encapsulates Naudé deciphering who he was as an artist. We see him here breaking away from his training in portraiture and celebrating the vibrancy of his homelands landscape. Coming from a family of farmers who affectionately referred to him as 'Artist', Naudé allowed his love of the environment and the surrounding vivid landscape to define his palette, 'changing his European palette to one saturated in sunshine and colour' .His student, Jan Juta, noted Naudé's emphasis on the importance that they 'must feel as well as see' , in order to portray the experience of a scene. It could be said that this focus of embodying feeling within his art was inspired by his work with the Worcester School for the Blind who, when visiting his family's farm, would experience their surrounding nature beyond its visual realism.
