Terugkoms van Cythera - Johann Louw (paintings)

'Terugkoms van Cythera' shows a shift away from Louw’s socio-historic themes and a move towards a more enigmatic, introspective and psychological exploration. Referencing The Embarkation for Cythera (L'Embarquement pour Cythère) (1717) by French Rococo painter Jean-Antoine Watteau, the exhibition serves as an interesting antithesis to the precious celebration of life and love at the birthplace of Venus portrayed in the original painting.
