- Fanie_Eloff abstract "Fanie Eloff, (1885-1947)Stephanus Johannes Paulus Eloff was born as the sixth child and second son of Frederik Christoffel Eloff and Elsie Francina Eloff (née Kruger). They lived right next to his grandfather, President Paul Kruger of the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek on church street in Pretoria.Eloff along with other influential South African Artists like Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef, Gerard Moerdijk and Gordon Leith attended the Staats Model School in Pretoria until the outbreak of the Anglo Boer War (1899-1902). The Eloff family followed Paul Kruger into exile in Switzerland after the fall of Pretoria on 3 September 1900. After the death of Kruger in 1904 the Eloff's moved back to Pretoria and Fanie Eloff completed his schooling. He enrolled at the South African School of Mines in Johannesburg for a course in geology.In 1908, Fanie decided to further his studies in Europe, at the Serbonne University in Paris. After a short time in Paris he was so inspired by the sculpture of the city that he decided to follow this as a career. He firstly enrolled for an Anatomy course at the Jardin Des Plantes and Eloff received his first sculpture classes at the art school of Peter David Edstrom, in Paris.In 1912 he took part in the 130 De Salon, Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées and created his work titled the Boxer. After the acclaim this work received in the press, locally and abroad he was admitted to Union Internationale des Beaux-Arts et des Lettres. With the outbreak of the First World War (1914-1919), his parents persuaded him to return to South Africa and in 1922 he returned to Paris. In 1924 he entered 2 sculptures in the Olympic Games in Paris of which Boxer was one.Through his love of all art he came to love Ballet and the performing arts, and became friends with a lot of dancers. He ‘contracted’ a lot of the dancers to pose for him and became known for his dancing nudes. With the invasion of Paris during the Second World War (1939-1945) Fanie had to flee and he returned to South Africa. In 1945, South African Academy of Science & Art, awarded Fanie with the Medal of Honour for art. His health gradually deteriorated during this time, and as a result his productivity reduced. He died during emergency surgery at the General Hospital in Pretoria. His entire estate, including the contents of his studio in Paris, was put on public auction in 1948. Fanie Eloff is Buried in the Rebecca street cemetery in Pretoria West.".
