Landscape Worcester

Worcester Landscape is a painting by British / South African artist George Enslin (1919-1972) painted in 1951. The painting shows Worcester in the Western Cape Province. The work was donated by Enslin after his 1951 exhibition at the University of Pretoria, an exhibition that was the last at the then MacFadyen Memorial Hall, the heart of Art Exhibitions in the North of South Africa. Short Biography: George Enslin was born in 1919 in Richmond England but immigrated at a young age to South Africa in 1920. He studies in Cape Town under the tutelage of Maurice van Essche but also in London, Paris and Carrara. He travelled to Japan more than six times and marries a Japanese lady, something frowned upon by the South African government at the time. Due to this he immigrated to Aegina, Greece in 1967 where he passes away in 1972.
