Piet van Heerden (1917 - 1991)

Piet van Heerden was born on 19 October 1917 to South African missionaries in Malawi. In 1927 he was sent to boarding school in Wellington, New Zealand. Van Heerden continued his education at the Cradock High School where he started painting, and received his first formal art training from a Catholic nun.

The death of Hugo Naudé's wife served as a catalyst for Piet van Heerden's move to Worcester, South Africa in 1939. He continued to study under Naudé for the following two years, until the death of Hugo Naudé in 1941. Naudé's tutorage is evident in the landscapes, figures and portraits that Piet van Heerden painted.

He is frequently considered a typical exponent of 'Cape Impressionism'. The Early Cape Impressionists drew their influences from European Impressionism and the works of artists such as Pieter Wenning, Hugo Naudé and Nita Spilhaus show their own personal styles adapted to South African conditions.
