The Road

A large canvas painting by the South African artist Walter Meyer (1965-2017) painted in 1994. Meyer painted Karoo scenes and had a great affinity for landscapes. Like this painting of a road between Upington and Cape Town, many of his works were desolate and showed the disintegration of society through infrastructure.
