A sculptor of Dutch origin, Anton van Wouw left an indelible mark on South African art through his evocative sculptures that captured the essence of the nation’s history, culture, and people. Van Wouw’s small-scale detailed depictions of Boer and African figures have made him a highly collectable artist and his monumental public and state-commissioned sculptures ensured his canonical status within the oeuvre of South African art history.
