"Pierneef painted Africa. His landscapes were different from anything seen in paint before. Baines, Oerder and others had painted the same scenes, but Pierneef saw them with new eyes. He created an original style out of this new subject matter" (Dr. Anton Hendriks). Pierneef's original style with simplified shapes and a small range of pale colours is instantly recognisable. A.A.
