This small whimsical quadriptych was painted in Walter Battiss’ winter retreat in
Leisure Bay, on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast.
Battiss is one of South Africa’s most
revered twentieth-century artists, and this work from the latter part of his career
is a poetic meditation on passing time, and the associated sensory shifts of sound,
sense, colour and light.
