HUGO NAUDE SOUTH AFRICAN IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING - Pieter Hugo Naude, 1869 to 1941, an Impressionist oil on canvas landscape painting depicting a summer landscape with a field of blue flowers blooming in the foothills. Hugo Naude is regarded as the quintessential South African impressionist. He received his professional art education at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, 1889 – 1890, and the Kunst Akademie in Munich, 1890 – 1894, and spent a year amongst the Barbizon painters in Fontainebleau near Paris. He returned to South Africa in 1896 to the Boland town of Worcester, his place of birth. Naudes work reflects his intimate affinity for nature and the soul of the African landscape. He captures the light and atmosphere with strong contrasts, an open-air freshness of his work, confident brushstrokes and the use of a brilliant range of colours.
