Est: £10,000 - £15,000
Freida Lock, South African 1902-1962- Interior, 1960; oil on canvas, signed lower left, 60 x 49cm Provenance: Joe Wolpe Gallery, South Africa where purchased by the present owner. Note: Lock explored a number of genres throughout her artistic career, however she is perhaps most renowned for her balanced and colourful interior scenes. She was one of the founding members of the New Group (1938-54), an artistic circle made up of young South African artists, including Gregoire Boonzaier, Lippy Lipshitz, Cecil Higgs and Terence McCaw. Lock and her contemporaries brought a unique and innovative style to the conservative South African art scene, sometimes even being referred to as the ‘Cape Impressionists’. Born in Cheadle Hume, England, Lock initially studied agriculture at Reading University, however after a year of study her family moved to Stellenbosch in 1921 to establish a fruit farm. She decided at the age of 30 to become an artist, and returned to England to study at the Heatherley School of Art, the first art school to admit women, in equal terms, with men into the life room. Through her expert use of colour, Lock has been able to evoke a sense of light and shadow in this cropped composition. Her characteristic use of darker outlines, particularly apparent in the chair, assist in delineating the object from the background, thus creating depth and definition in this busy and colourful work. With thanks to Max Wolpe, Joe Wolpe's son, for his assistance in cataloguing this work. Please refer to department for condition report

Est: £7,000 - £10,000
FREIDA LOCK (SOUTH AFRICAN, 1902-1962) ‘Dhows in Harbour’ signed and dated ‘Freida Lock ‘47’ (lower right); inscribed with title (verso) oil on canvas 51 x 61cm (20 1/16 x 24in). Following in the footsteps of fellow artist Irma Stern, Freida Lock travelled to Zanzibar in 1947 looking for fresh inspiration. She resided there for eighteen months, immersing herself in the culture of the Arab community. The ‘exotic’ nature of the island excited Lock’s artistic passions, so different from her experiences in South Africa and London. This was a highly prolific period for the artist; visits to the bustling markets and the dhow harbours fuelled her creative fire. The blues and greens of the Indian Ocean and tropical vegetation offered her the perfect opportunity to experiment with a vibrant palette. Dated 1947, Dhows in Harbour was painted within the first few months of her arrival. The billowing sails of the dhows are depicted in broad, energetic brushstrokes. The liberal application of white paint is characteristic of Lock; as Esme Berman observes, “She seemed to enjoy particularly the chalky tone and texture obtained from zinc-white applied in thick impasto”. The clouds are rendered in a similarly textured fashion. Lock’s interest in the weather is partially a result of her training at the Heatherley School of Art in London. It was here that she and fellow South Africans, Terence McCaw and Gregoire Boonzaier, were exposed to European Impressionist artists. Inspired by the works of Cezanne, Utrillo and Braque, Lock returned to South Africa determined to paint directly from life, capturing the fleeting moment on canvas. The raw brushstrokes and dynamic composition of Dhows in Harbour reveals her reputation as a ‘Cape Impressionist’ to be well-deserved. Bibliography: S.

*FREIDA LOCK (SOUTH AFRICAN, 1902-1962) ‘Little Interior’ signed ‘Freida Lock’ (lower left); inscribed ‘Little Interior’ (verso) oil on canvas 38 x 28cm (14 15/16 x 11in). Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist. Thence by direct descent to the current owner. During the years between WWI and WWII, London became the training ground for many young South African artists. Freida Lock was one such student, attending Heatherley School of Art and the Central School of Art between 1934 and 1937 where she was introduced to the works of post-Impressionists such as Van Gogh, Cézanne and Braque. Lock would go on to found the New Group on her return to South Africa in 1938 with fellow Heatherley student Gregoire Boonzaier, whom she met through the English artist Percival Small in Cape Town. The influence of this European modernist education exposed what Lock and her contemporaries considered to be the artistic failings of the conservative art establishment in South Africa. The aim of the New Group was “to introduce new concerns and techniques”. Lock is famed for her interior scenes. Influenced in particular by Van Gogh and his indoor works, such as the intimate Bedroom in Arles, she was inspired by Cape Town’s picturesque Dutch Malay homes. Lock herself owned a home at 71 Bree Street and then Westoe in West Mowbray, and would complete studies in and around the rooms and corridors: “She had a way of making a home out of nothing, transforming almost derelict interiors with coats of bright paint”, Desiree Picton-Seymour once commented. The current work is an excellent, intimate example of this subject. A sense of warm intimacy is produced by the narrowing perspective towards an open door, framed by the walls and floors filled with vivid rugs and tapestries. Characteristic of Lock’s handling, the draughtsmanship is quick and the supple lines exaggerate the character of the period architecture and décor. The composition of this work is reminiscent of a similar oil work Interior (1945, Sanlam Collection), where the viewer’s eye is similarly led to the centre of the work with an open door, promising sunlight and space.
