      Doreen Mandawa (Tanzanian, born 1929- 2021), School Girl, 1974

      Est: KSh265,000 - KSh530,000

      Born in Scotland in 1929, Doreen Mandawa studied art at the Sunderland College of Art from 1959. She spent a number of years active in anti-apartheid campaigns and the human rights struggle in England before moving to Tanzania with her family in 1964, where Mandawa lived and worked as a prolific painter and educator until her death in 2021. Mandawa has become well regarded for her impressionistic paintings: she has exhibited frequently in Dar es Salaam, as well as in Kenya, Canada and the UK. In 2019 a retrospective of her work was held at the National Museum of Tanzania, to mark both her and the museum’s 90th year. This is one of Mandawa’ first paintings and a favourite of hers. She signed it using her first husband’s surname and her maiden name Waithilingam Gibson, she later signed as Doreen Mandawa.
