John BREDL (1934-2020) - Provenance German collection. Self taught artist, he began painting and drawing at a very early age. His father Joe came out from Germany and settled in Renmark, South Australia. John was painting in Oils an Acrylics, working mostly from photographs.  Sales from the markets and Rotary Art Shows kept him in paint and canvas for a few years. Then in 1991 John started winning awards at these art shows.  The markets were also showing positive results. Having a stall at the St Kilda Esplanade opened the door to many international buyers. He was obsessed with trying to capture the Australian land and seascapes as here.
