PETER CLARKE (SOUTH AFRICAN 1929-2014) TRANQUIL SEA brush and ink and watercolour on paper signed and dated in English Clarke / 24.4.1967 lower right; inscribed Tranquil Sea / Watercolour / Peter Clarke / Simons Town C.P. / South Africa on the reverse 26.5 x 36cm; 10 1/2 x 14in 46.5 x 64cm; 18 1/4 x 25in (framed) Property from a Private Collection, Cambridge Provenance Purchased from the artist in Simon's Town The DinksFãStan Private Collection (by descent from the above) Peter Clarke was born in Simon’s Town, in the Western Cape. He studied etching at the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town in 1961, as a short-term student under a special permit. As a ‘coloured’ student he was not permitted under apartheid regulations to study full-time at a ‘white’ institution. He also studied at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam in 1962/3 and participated in a course on printmaking at the Atelier Nord in Oslo, in 1978. In 1967, during the apartheid era, Clarke and his family were forcibly moved under the Group Areas Act of 1950 and relocated to the bleak new, ironically named township of Ocean View, where for more than 20 years he ran an art workshop for underprivileged children. In 2013 a major retrospective of Clarke’s work was presented by the Standard Bank Gallery in Johannesburg and the Iziko South African National Gallery in Cape Town, accompanied by the comprehensive publication on his life and work, Listening to Distant Thunder: The Art of Peter Clarke, by Phillipa Hobbs and Elizabeth Rankin (2011).
