Sekoto’s 1960 painting, Brown head, projects a bold and monumental presence; brimming with confidence and pride - probably inspired by the many African countries gaining their independence from the colonial powers at the time. Similarly, Legae’s Young man (click here to view) beams with pride and confidence - virtually shouting: Black is beautiful!.
