Die bekende fotograaf Cloete Breytenbach is onlangs oorlede. Cloete was lid van die bekende Wellingtonse gesin onder wie ook die skrywer Breyten Breytenbach, wat almal in die Burgerstraat-huis waar die Breytenbach-sentrum vandag gele\u00eb is, grootgeword het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloete het ook \u2019n baie groot rol in die vestiging van die Breytenbach-sentrum \u2013 \u2019n baken van kuns en kultuur in Wellington \u2013 gespeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bekende oudjoernalis Martie Meiring <\/b>het hierdie huldeblyk aan Cloete op die LitNet-webwerf<\/i> gepubliseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ding met die fotograaf Cloete Breytenbach op \u2019n verslagsending was dat hy altyd die regte skoot kon neem, al het jy, die verslaggewer, ewe wysneusig probeer om \u201choeke\u201d vir hom voor te s\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy sou dan, stil-stil, mond kopknikkend gepers, vriendelike o\u00eb na jou gemik, maak soos jy, onnosele verslaggewer, gevra het. D\u00e1n het hy die regte ding gedoen \u2013 sy hoeke self gekies en dan sommer so geklik-klik-klik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 sal hy seker deur die meeste oudkollegas onthou word \u2013 die ou met die glimlag, sonder woorde; wat jou storie met sy fotografiese deelname kon red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aanvanklik persfotograaf vir Die Burger <\/i>en Cape Times, <\/i>het hy in koerantjoernalistiek die gesogte \u201cgo to\u201d-vryskut geword. Kalm, gemaklik, nie baie woorde nie, skewe glimlag, goeie begrip van die storie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het agter oorlo\u00eb aangevlieg, in gevaarsituasies beland, kon die rook en brande, dood en afgryse van mense op die slagveld op film vasl\u00ea. Sy foto\u2019s uit die Savimbi\u2019s Angola-versameling toon die vreeslike kante van oorlog: die doodmaak, en die lewe-soek van gewone mense in oorlogsones; aangrypend ook die foto\u2019s van kindersoldate, byna te klein vir die groot wapens wat hulle moes dra. Dis moontlik oor hierdie \u201cmenslike\u201d raaksien dat hy as die \u201clensdigter\u201d beskryf is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy Distrik Ses-reeks foto\u2019s het nie net die fotografiese inkyk in die mense van daardie buurt vasgel\u00ea nie, maar ook bygedra tot \u2019n sterk beeldende geskiedenis van daardie hartseer verlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Guggenheim in New York het werk van hom \u2013 foto\u2019s van hoofman Albert Luthuli. \u2019n Jaar gelede is \u2019n besonderse uitstalling van sy werk in Portugal gehou. Boeke van sy foto\u2019s is gepubliseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dikwels moes Cloete ook die goedige spot aanhoor van die Drie Grotes \u2013 die Breytenbach-broers, die een so sonderlik, en aantreklik, as die ander. Jan Breytenbach, soldaat, stigter van die gevreesde\/beroemde 32 Bataljon in die sg. Grensoorlog; Breyten, digter, aktivis, Afrikaanse w\u00eareldling; Cloete, soms sinies, die ou wat \u2019n slu grap op \u2019n sagte manier kon vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fotograwe het \u2019n eie oog. In ons land was en is daar uitstaande fotograwe, en van hierdie panteon sal Cloete Breytenbach deel wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was al in sy leeftyd \u2019n ikoon \u2013 en hy sou kopskud, effens vererg wees oor hierdie beskrywing. Feit bly staan: Hy was, en bly, \u2019n ikoon in die beelde wat hy geskep het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloete is in die nanag van 31 Mei vanjaar n\u00e1 \u2019n hartomleiding oorlede. Sy dogter het na berig word vertel dat hy selfs n\u00e1 die operasie gerusstellend geglimlag het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
