🎨 Hulde aan ’n meester van Suid-Afrikaanse beeldhoukuns

Die bekende Suid-Afrikaanse beeldhouer Ivan Mitford-Baberton is op 80-jarige ouderdom oorlede op 9 Junie 1976.

Mitford-Baberton het ’n blywende nalatenskap in Suid-Afrika se openbare kunslandskap nagelaat. Sy beeldhouwerke vertel verhale van moed, deursettingsvermoë en die mense wat ons geskiedenis gevorm het.

Van sy bekendste werke sluit in:

🗿 Die Wolraad Woltemade Monument in Pinelands, wat die heldedaad van Wolraad Woltemade verewig.

🗿 Die Settler Family by die Setlaarmuseum in Grahamstad (Makhanda), wat hulde bring aan die vroeë setlaargesinne van die Oos-Kaap.

🗿 Die geliefde Jock of the Bushveld Monument in Barberton, geïnspireer deur die bekende verhaal van Jock en sy baas.

Byna vyf dekades ná sy afsterwe leef sy kuns voort in brons en klip – stil getuies van Suid-Afrika se ryk geskiedenis en erfenis.
