♡ RUTH EVERARD HADEN (South African, 1904-1992) Eastern Transvaal Landscape oil on canvas signed lower right: Ruth Everard Haden 72 x 90.5cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Johannesburg, South Africa Private collection, Menton, France (bequeathed from the above) Thence by descent Private collection, Melbourne OTHER NOTES: Ruth Everard Haden was born into a family of women painters. Ruth's mother, Bertha Everard, along with her sister Edith King became known as the Everard Group from Mpumalanga (formerly Eastern Transvaal). In the 1920s, Ruth studied at the Slade School of Art in London under Henry Tonks before moving to Paris to pursue further artistic freedom. During this time she progressed from favouring watercolours, to linocuts, but often returning to oils. This time abroad exposed her to the influences of Cubism and Futurism. In the late 1920s she returned to South Africa, where she continued to paint and exhibit regularly with the Everard-Group until the 1950s when the group withdrew from the art world combined with Ruth's failing eye sight ceasing her creative endeavours by 1956. As with many female painters of this era, her work is more recently gathering the recognition it so rightfully deserves. Estimate $9,000-12,000 Condition: Overall, the work is in good condition, consistent with age. There are two minor folds in the canvas seen lower right and lower left, due to how the canvas has been stretched, however there appears to be no damage as a result. The frame displays numerous cracks forming and minor losses. Overall size 88 x 108cm.
