Robert Hodgins

Robert Hodgins (born 1920) is a South African artist, best known for paintings depicting people as self-concerned, conscienceless, and unaware of their fallibility, and for his printmaking.

Life history

Robert Hodgins was born in Dulwich, London, in 1920, and immigrated to South Africa in 1938. He enlisted with the Union Defence Force in 1940, and served in Kenya and Egypt.

In 1944 he returned to England, and studied art and education at Goldsmiths College at the University of London, where he received an arts and crafts certificate in 1951 and a National Diploma of Design in painting in 1953.

He returned to South Africa, where he taught at the Pretoria Technical College School of Art from 1954. From 1962 he was a journalist and critic for Newscheck magazine. He lectured in painting at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, from 1966 to 1983.

In 1983, he retired to paint full-time. He has partaken in many solo and group exhibitions in South Africa and abroad. His work can be seen in many galleries, corporate and public collections, including Anglo American, the Johannesburg Art Gallery, the Sandton Art Gallery, the Pretoria Art Museum, the South African National Gallery in Cape Town, University of South Africa (UNISA), the University of the Witwatersrand Art Galleries, and the William Humphries Art Gallery in Kimberley.
