Carter, Sydney (1874-1945)

Sydney Carter was born in Enfield in England, but lived in South Africa from 1923. He painted portraits and landscapes which generally incorporated trees. He was also a cartoonist working in oils and gouache. Carter has held numerous solo exhibitions and had many public commissions, e.g. Jeppe Street Post Office and Cape Town Post Office. He was not really an originator of aesthetic form, but his descriptive style is unmistakable and has retained a popularity with the general public.
