Moses Kottler (1896–1977) was a South African painter and sculptor. He is widely regarded, along with Anton van Wouw and Lippy Lipshitz, as one of the most important South African sculptors. This triumvirate had the distinction of also having excelled at using pictorial media; Lipshitz with monotypes and Van Wouw in painting and drawing. Kottler's work in oils earned him additional consideration as a painter.
Dr Ute Ben Yosef presents us with a comprehensive description of Kottler's work and an interesting account of his personal life.
"I consider him the greatest artist in S.A., no comparison with any other – my own humble personality included" —Pieter Wenning (1919)
