CARICATURA EXHIBITION

Gustav (Jack) Kaltenbrun will host the first exhibition of art at the new exhibition hall at Msasa Books in Hillcrest. He is also the curator of this small exclusive exhibition hall that aims to present work that…”wound with a touch that’s scarcely felt or seen” - sketches that, like the work of Hogarth and others, are social comments.

Jack Kaltenbrun is a retired art lecturer and has exhibited widely. His recent exhibition at the Grahamstown Art Festival created much interest and critical praise.

The current exhibition consists of his portrait- charge, satirical, sketches of “Important People” including Alan Paton, the Nun (mother Teresa), The ‘stars’ of the Heritage Market Theatre, ‘The Trolley Pushers’ of Kloof and a collection of famous South African jockeys.

Caricatura opens on September 1 at the Msasa Exhibition Hall and Jack Kaltenbrun can be contacted at 031 765 3815 or e mail jakal@telkomsa.net Gallery hours are weekdays 08h00 to 17h00 (Saturdays 08h00 to 14h00). More information from Msasa Books on 031 765 4945 (Adrian) or e mail: andsh@icon.co.za
