Four Boys and Two Birds 

"Four Boys and Two Birds" is an expressive painting by South African artist Walter Battiss. The painting depicts four figures, likely boys, with two birds hovering in the background. Battiss' distinctive style, with its bold colors and gestural strokes, gives the work a vibrant and energetic quality. The composition is dynamic, and the figures are presented in a simplified, almost abstract manner. Battiss was a pioneer of modern art in South Africa and his work often explored themes of nature, human connection, and the beauty of the African landscape.
