Eric Wale (1916-2001) was born and grew up in Cape Town. He served throughout the Second World War first as flying instructor and then as a bomber pilot, before practising as an advocate in Cape Supreme Court. Wale began painting professionally in 1951 after studying art at Michaelis Art School. Wale was a keen fisherman and sailor since his childhood. The Cape Times art critic Benita Munitz, in her review of Wale’s 1988 exhibition, described the artist's work as “fine renderings of the sea in all its moods […] the sensation of water is so real that you can almost see sand and pebbles beneath the painted surface. Boats, too, are Wale’s territory. The many renditions of boats, sleek or neglected, old and new, proud or modest, reflect the artist’s interest, familiarity and knowledge. […] In this field of marine art Wale has few peers.”
