Abstract

Description

By 1973 Bettie Cilliers-Barnard was wholeheartedly engaged with representing humanity. The totem-like archetypical mother on the left of the picture plane stands within her space and is accompanied by her three totem-like daughters in their space capsule on the right. This pastel drawing is a preliminary study in which the artist develops her concepts for the many chess-like figures that were to follow.
