This spectacular painting was acquired directly from Gwoktcho, one of the Ugandan masters. Gwoktcho, who for many years taught “drawing” as a primary course at the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts, maintains a studio at his home in Kirinnya, just outside Kampala. It was there that the collector first contemplated the wonder of “Learning Together,” a picture that describes the women’s rights movement in the intimate, sisterly scene of two women sharing a lesson together. Gwoktcho is best known for his exquisite paintings of wildlife, the reason this piece is sui generis in what is a remarkable oeuvre by a great artist. The painting is among the untouchable highlights of the Roduza Collection.
