David Chudy was a close friend of ‘Patterson of Cyrene’ since the early 50s.

Edward “Ned” Paterson (1895–1974) was a pioneering art teacher in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He is known for founding Cyrene School near Bulawayo, and for introducing the Arts and Crafts style to Africans in both South Africa and Rhodesia. Some of his students were among the first professional African artists in Rhodesia. (source Wikepedia )

Here are a few of the paintings of Cyrene kids from 1947-52 which he collected and found inspiring.
