Jacob Hendrik Pierneef (South African 1886-1957) KARROO (sic.) signed and dated 39; a plaque adhered to the frame bears the title and the inscription 'aan Mev. D J.J.G Loots van susters Pretoria Noord oil on board 29 by 39cm One of the most celebrated artists of his generation and one of the most sought after artists today, J. H. Pierneef is known as an authority on the splendour of South African landscapes through his stylised interpretations.Pierneef returned from a trip to Europe in 1925 – 1926 having gained experience with an array of contemporary styles, and influenced by the theories of Willem van Konijnenberg, from his book de Aesthetische Idee which was published in 1916. Konijnenberg writes that both idealbeauty and the harmony required in order to achieve it are derived from laws of mathematics. He stressed that unity in a painting is attained through the use of rhythm, and this influenced Pierneef’s production greatly. This use of structure in achieving form can be viewed in many of his paintings after this period in the strong linear style, geometric shapes and simplified lines.Prior to travelling to Europe Pierneef followed the Dutch Masters’ tradition of painting nature as he saw it. It took him many years to perfect the scientific formulae that were required to achieve a balanced composition, but evidence of these theories, which were incorporated to become Pierneef’s style, can be viewed in the painting Karroo.The work consists of diagonal lines that create the clouds and the geometrically shaped hills, with horizontal lines of the land in the foreground and the base of the clouds above it. The artist employs horizontal lines and geometric shapes to create a landscape of clouds and hills. Also typical of Pierneef’s style is an archway of clouds. A succession of short, blunt brushstrokes creates a strong sky that becomes darker as it extends towards the top of the composition.The soft pinks and delicate purples of the hills, as well as the use of blues, were used by the Romantic School, of which Pierneef was a follower. Another element characteristic of Romanticism is the burgeoning cloud formation, which emphasises a gentle turbulence ofthe elements. Pierneef’s technique varied in his use of oils, sometimes applied in thick layers, sometimes in thin layers. Karroo is evident of the latter, with its shallow layers of paint. The light colours used are typical of those found in the work produced in Pierneef’s mid to late career.Pierneef painted Karroo in 1939, three years after he was awarded the Medal of Honour for Painting by the South African Akademie. - S.

He quotes one story of how he and other members of crew rescued 13 RAF air crew from a downed Sunderland flying boat in 50 foot icy waves as one of the most frightening experiences of his service. Served aboard HMAS Australia from 3/3/1940 and was part of the seizure of Vichy territory & Middle Eastern convoy of 85,000 Australian troops to North Africa in 1941. She took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, where Bill talks about the Kamikaze pilots aiming for the ship (original picture included in folder), with one being shot down, with one slipping through and hitting the bridge and foremast, killing 30. He left the ship in November 1944 and became a gunner aboard Merchant Naval craft. Hall left the navy 6/10/1945, having served 61 months overseas and having travelled over 400,000 miles whilst on active service. H.M.A.S. Australia had a long and arduous career of service during the Second World War. As part of the Dakar Squadron in July 1940, Australia (II), in company with HM Ships Hermes, Dorsetshire and Milford, was patrolling off the French West African coast, observing the French fleet. During this month Australia (II) fired her first shot in World War II when she was attacked by an enemy bomber. On 9 July she joined a convoy for the United Kingdom and for the rest of the month she was patrolling off Norway in the vicinity of the Faeroes with the 1st Cruiser Squadron. September 1940 found Australia (II) involved in Operation MENACE and patrolling off Dakar, French West Africa, as part of the allied expedition to occupy the Vichy controlled ports and installations. 24 September, Australia (II) was engaged in a general fleet bombardment of French ships and forts and was twice subjected to high level bombing attacks by French planes. On 25 September Australia (II) and Devonshire moved in towards Dakar to attack French cruisers. During the engagement which followed Australia (II) received two hits aft and her Walrus spotting aircraft was shot down. In October 1940 Australia (II) was patrolling off the Azores and escorting troop ships between Gibraltar and the United Kingdom. On 29 October, in the Orkney/Shetland area, Australia (II) succeeded in rescuing nine crew members of a Sunderland Flying Boat, despite Force 10 winds and very high seas. During December the city was subjected to a period of heavy air raids in dock at Liverpool. After a period escorting convoys to Freetown, Durban, Suez and Colombo, Australia (II) finally arrived back in Sydney on 24 March 1941. Between April and November the ship was on duty in the Indian Ocean and on 6 November carried out a reconnaissance of the Crozet Islands. She returned to Sydney in December and became Flagship of the Australian Squadron. In March and April 1942 Australia (II) operated in the South West Pacific in support of United States naval forces attempting to halt further Japanese southward expansion. The Battle of the Coral Sea (7 May 1942) saw Australia (II) as Flagship of the Support Group (Task Group 17.3) attacking enemy transports and light cruisers reported to be heading for Port Moresby through Jomard Passage. The Support Group was attacked by eight torpedo bombers and nineteen high level bombers on this date. On 7 August 1942 Australia (II) led the escort of nine transports and six store ships containing the forces for the landing at Guadalcanal. From November 1943 to September 1944, Australia (II) was involved in bombarding enemy held islands in the South West Pacific, prior to allied assaults, from Cape Gloucester in the New Britain area to Morotai in the Netherlands East Indies. In October 1944 the ship was subjected to frenzied Kamikaze attacks as part of the allied invasion of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines, with the loss of 29 of the ship’s crew, including the ships Captain. By 5 January 1945 she was back in action in the Lingayen Gulf covering the allied invasion of Luzon Island. Here she was subjected to repeated suicide attacks, this time there was no doubt of the kamikaze nature of the Japanese planes. Australia (II) was hit on 5, 6, 8 and 9 January, losing 3 officers and 41 ratings killed and 1 officer and 68 ratings wounded. This was the ship’s last action in World War II.
