About Maggie

Maggie is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

1886 - 1973
Laubser grew up on a farm in the Malmesbury district and, on her return from Europe in 1924, stayed on the farm Oortmanspost in the same area. Her roots in a rural existence in Africa enabled Laubser to identify strongly with the German Expressionists' search for the primeval in art and life. This fusion of the aesthetics of German Expression with her own inner sensibilities is evident in this intense early work painted between 1928 and 1932. Her simplified forms and strong colours were a radical departure in South African art at a time when most of her contemporaries were painting naturalistic and descriptive images.
