South African landscape and portrait artist Stephanus Hennop .....born? .....died around 1978
Stephanus Hennop hailed from the Pretoria area and was a wrestler in his younger days. In the early 1950's he wrestled under the name of 'Solly Simms' and toured the country with the well known Canadian wrestler 'Sky High Lee' Some time after this tour Hennop was involved in a car accident in which he broke his back and became a paraplegic. After some time he moved to Phillipstown in the Karoo where he started painting, at first landscapes and then also portraits. The information I have of him was told to me by his son Kobus Hennop. In my view Hennop was one of the most underrated artists in South Africa and he died relatively unknown.I will attempt to add some pictures of his work. Cschoonwinkel123 (talk) 08:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
