Never short of inspiration, it’s little wonder that the works of Ruth Everard-Haden have achieved such acclaim.
She was the only member of the Everard Group to receive formal art training in both London and Paris.

Like many artists, however, Ruth found that it was the infectious artistic mood in Paris that inspired and influenced her style more than her professors.

This invaluable exposure to the European art movements, including Cubism, Vorticism, Futurism, is clearly identified in her works.

It was, however, the work of the early Expressionist and post Impressionists that most impacted her confident and technically astute artistic flair.

As a professional artist her body of work includes portraits and still lives but she found an affinity to the rendering of landscapes.

Moving away from the literal representation of the country side scenes she depicted, of her beloved Eastern Transvaal, she preferred to apply broad areas of bold colour that cover the canvas in a bid to convey a soft rolling landscape.

In lots 525 and 526, we see two fine examples of the expert rendering of the scenes she so loved to paint with her refined technique and intelligent use of a vivid pallet. Both Landscape I and Landscape II are rendered from a high vantage point these works bare the typical stamp of Ruth Everard-Haden’s flourish for landscapes and Stephan Welz & Company looks forward to placing them on public auction on Tuesday August 7 at our Johannesburg premises.
