Michael Ghaui (b.1950) TanzanianStanding BuffaloSigned, and dated (20)08, oil on canvas, 100.5cm 150.5cmBorn in 1950, and brought up on a farm in Tanzania, Michael Ghaui has an intimate knowledge of the wildlife and landscape of Africa. Growing up he regularly made camping trips to game parks with his family, a tradition which he continues. These observational trips in the wilds of Tanzania provide key field notes and inspiration for his paintings and sculptures. His impressionistic and realistic approach brings an authentic experience of wildlife in the African bush. When not in Tanzania, he resides on the shores of Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Ghaui has had exhibitions in Nairobi, Kenya and the United States, and his works hang in numerous private collections throughout the world.

Full title: Flemish school, in the manner of Jheronimus Bosch (ca. 1450-1516): The magic scene, oil on panel, third quarter 16th C.Description:Work: 58 x 52 cm Our painting is made after the work 'The Conjurer', which is part of the collection of the Musée Municipal in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.There are different opinions about the Saint-Germain-en Laye work, since there are five known versions of the magician (Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Private collection California; Musée Municipal, Saint-German-en-Laye; Coronari Auctions; link). Bosch connoisseur Charles de Tolnay attributed the copy in Saint-Germain-en-Laye to Bosch with some reserve. "Having had several occasions to re-examine the panel," he wrote, "I am inclined to regard it as an original." According to him, all other versions are derived from this panel. In 1958, the various versions of 'The Conjurer' were published and discussed by art historian Lotte Brand Philip. According to her, the Saint-Germain Magician is a non-faithful, highly simplified copy of a lost tondo, which had the same "additions" as a copy of 'The Conjurer' in Philadelphia. According to De Tolnay, however, the additions were not Bosch's, but were devised between 1540 and 1560. He also assumes that this is a youth work by Bosch. Later art historians are more cautious, as Max Friedländer described it as 'perhaps only an old copy', although he admits that the best example is in Saint-Germain. According to Ludwig von Baldass, this is a copy of an early work by Bosch. Dendrochronological research has now shown that it was created around 1502 at the earliest and therefore cannot be youth work. Bosch connoisseur Bernard Vermet therefore thinks that the work very likely originated in the vicinity of Bosch, which would be an indication of the existence of a studio. (link)The painting depicts how people are fooled by lack of alertness and insight, creating a 'spellbinding tension'. Theconjureron the right of the image captures his apt and diverse audience with a game ofcups and balls. The central character and true focus of the image is the man of rank in the forefront who leans in and is fixed on the pearl in the conjurer's hand while unaware of being relieved of hismoney purse. Bosch depicts the conjurer as a common criminal, luring in the prey. Beasts are used in the painting to symbolize human traits that allow for deception and victimization. Thelittle owlfrom the basket at the conjurer's waist signifies his intelligence. Frogsjumping out of the mouth of the central character represent the extent to which the victim let go of reason and gave in to bestial impulses. The child engrossed in our victim and the man stealing the money purse seems to exemplify theFlemishproverb: 'He who lets himself be fooled by conjuring tricks loses his money and becomes the laughing stock of children.' Another Flemish proverb, published and widely distributed ca. 1480 in Bosch's hometown of's-Hertogenboschabout the time of this painting, is: 'No one is so much a fool as a willful fool.' (link) In other words, the main theme of the work is credulity. In French, the work is called 'L'Escamoteur', which means both magician and pickpocket. The frogs probably illustrate the saying 'swallow a frog', which also refers to extreme credulity.(link)De Tolnay describes it as follows "At first one thinks they are witnessing a humorous incident of the well-known kind: a cunning magician makes frogs jump from the mouth of a simpleton, who does not notice that an accomplice of the magician is meanwhile robbing him of his purse. The stupidity and glee on the faces of the bystanders, their ridiculous seriousness, make an extremely comical impression on the outsider who sees through the game. But the anecdotal theme is overshadowed by the inner intentions of the artist: the group wholly succumbed to the magician's suggestive power becomes a symbol of humanity, defenseless at the mercy of ridiculous sorcery." (C. de Tolnay, Hieronymus Bosch. Het volledige werk, Alphen aan den Rijn, 1984, pp. 86-89).On an engraving by Balthasar van den Bosch from the mid-16th C., the representation is also clarified by the following caption:Och wat vintmen coenskens in tswerelts rondenDie door den guijckelsack wonder connen brouwenEn doen tuolck spouwen met hare loose vondenwonder op de tafele waer dore sij huijs houwendaeroen betrouwse niet tot gheene stondenwant verloordi oock borse tsoude brouwen. (link)Finally, what our version makes very exceptional is the coat of arms with the lion rampant on the robe of the figure on the far right. The appearance of the coat of arms of Flanders is particularly unique. The same representation occurs only rarely, among others in the judgment of Cambyses by Gerard David (The skinning, above the door in the background). It also shows that the work was more than likely commissioned. (link)
