Description

Jacobus Hendrik (Henk) Pierneef (usually referred to as Pierneef) (13 August 1886 Pretoria - 4 October 1957) was a South African landscape artist. He is generally considered to be one of the best of the old South African masters. His distinctive style is widely recognised, and the South African landscape greatly influenced his work.

This collection consists of:

  • A variety of articles and reviews from South African newspapers and newspapers from the Netherlands covering 1908 to 2011
  • Limited journal articles covering 1917 to 1949
  • Personal and official correspondence
  • Exhibition catalogues and invitations
  • Diverse items include photos, catalogues of other artists, and examples of Pierneef's impressions on cards, calendars and programmes.
