I didn’t go to any school to learn art because, in my time, there was no such thing as art schools. So the talent I have is just simply a blessing from God,” Beck explained.He grew up in Bertrams, Johannesburg, and studied in Vrededorp. He then trained as a teacher and taught for 23 years. Since then, Beck has worked as an artist, mostly as a sculptor.In 1966, he won The Star Seaside Award for a charcoal drawing of children seeing the sea for the first time.In 1986, the government added to the Parliament Building in Cape Town and Beck won the commission to complete a large mural for the building – a singular honour for a Transvaal artist. This work depicts coloured people from various walks of life.As an ex-teacher, Beck explained that he was deeply concerned about the lack of opportunity to showcase the talent of his people, and his earlier work reflected sadness and frustration. However, his works now show a new spirit of optimism.Beck’s subjects for his sculptures are taken from township life – street children, jazz players, newspaper sellers and family members involved in every day, but universal, pursuits and pleasures.Size:The charcoal paper measures 22" x 30" with the Image measures 19" x 29".Condition:In My Opinion the charcoal is in Very Good to Excellent Condition, but please see photo to form your opinion.Shipping:The will be shipped Using USPS Priority Mail Rolled in a Hard Tube then in a USPS Triangle Tube.
