About Moses Tladi

Moses Tladi was a self-taught South African artist who was the first black painter to hold a formal exhibition in South Africa and the first black artist to exhibit at the South African National Gallery. He worked as a gardener in Parktown, Johannesburg, painting the landscapes he saw around him, and stopped painting after being forced from his home under the Group Areas Act in 1956.
