P Family of the artist;Thence by descent Born in Australia to Irish parents George Laffan returned to the family home in Rathmines, Dublin at the age of 15.

His work was included in the Institute of the Sculptors of Ireland exhibitions in 1955 and 1956. In the 1960s the female form in various guises and poses dominated. In 1972, The Kenny Gallery in Galway hosted a group show which included Laffan and his son, Justin, John Behan and Stepinac McNamee. The same year he exhibited at the IELA, where the Times commented on his highly competent ballerinas" which had a "flavour of the old-fashioned salon about them".

Heads - executed in a variety of materials - became the artist`s focus for a ten year period from 1974-1984. He showed at the Oireachtas in 1978 a 2.4m high bog oak piece called Maighdean Dubh. In 1984 he retuned to Australia where he made landscape and portrait sketches. Female torsos in bog oak and walnut feature in his final years. He died in Dublin in 1988 aged 70. "

Willem de Sanderes Hendrikz MAREGA bronze, dark brown patina From the collection of the late Prof. A. L. Meiring Willem de Sanderes Hendrikz started his studies in architecture at the University of the Witwatersrand, but also dedicated himself to Fine Art forms in his spare time. In 1934 he moved to London to further his studies. He decided to devote himself to art and moved over to an art degree full time and became a lecturer in Fine Art at his Alma Mater between 1937 and 1945. In this last year, he resigned from his lectureship and became a full time sculptor, as he felt that the academic life was a threat to his creative instinct and potential as an artist. Coming after the realists such as Van Wouw and Eloff, Hendrikz was the first Afrikaans sculptor to follow modern trends. He realised that there was a close affinity between architecture and sculpture and his architectural training played an integral role in in his development as a sculptor. He was a renowned artist for the embellishment of buildings and did many bas relief panels for banks, building societies etc. - Most notably the bronze doors that he designed for the Volkskas Building in Johannesburg. This work, Marega, is a pendant to the earlier work entitled Tama Morena, also of a young Bantu girl, which was exhibited at the International Open Air Exhibition in Sonsbeek, Arnem, 1952. He sadly committed suicide at the young age of 39. I.L. Edited from: × http://www.artefacts.co.za/main/Buildings/style_det.php?styleid=1154, [9 September 2013] × Prof G.
