"the seventies"
 

The selfrighteous director, 1974,
oil on linen, 101x76 cm,
Ref. 743003

 

Works from the 70s in oil paint have their own place in my oeuvre. The open lines and clear colour planes make the images directly accessible. They approach the characteristics of a

cartoon drawing. The choice of mainly male figures shows a businesslike attitude, which is related to my working environment of these years and my critical attitude towards authority. The portraits of the self-confident man leave no doubt about the self-righteousness of the policy makers with functions such as director. A single female figure is a suffering victim.

As an encore, photos can be seen of the African traditional people in the immediate post-colonial period. And from the start of decolonization in Angola, where 10 years later the Cubans made an end to the Apartheid in South Africa by decisively winning the war in Cuito Cuanavale.

In the 70s we lived in central and southern Africa.
