STELLA SHAWZIN (SOUTH AFRICAN 1920-2020) BASUTOLAND DUSK Oil on canvas laid to board Signed (lower right), inscribed to label (verso) 91.5 x 46cm (36 x 18 in.) Unframed Stella Shawzin was an internationally renowned South African sculptor and painter. Born in the Transvaal, South Africa in 1920. Shawzin trained originally as an actor,singer and dancer and continued to partake in plays and films whilst residing in England during 1940s. It was during this time that Shawzin began having lessons with eminent German colourist Martin Bloch, an artist living in exile in England due to persecution he experienced at the hands of the Nazis. Bloch encouraged her to work as an artist instead of a performer. In the 1950s Shawzin moved to New York, to study at the New York Art Students League, where she was taught by Geroge Bridgman, Frank DuMond, and Yasuo Kuniyoshi. After her time at the Art Students League, she enrolled at the Pratt Institute Workshop for Artists, where Shawzin improved her knowledge of graphic techniques. Despite her wide ranging training in many media, Shawzin decided to work almost exclusively as a sculptor. She established her own foundry in Constantia, Cape Town to cast her bronzes. All her marble sculpures were carved in the studio of Carlo Nicoli in Carrara, Italy. Carrara marble is renowned for its durability and purity making it ideal for sculpture and building.
