Capetonian Lorraine Loots started painting a miniature a day on 01 January 2013. It started as a side project to enable her to indulge her love of painting, but has since then gathered meaning and momentum. She now has a website on which you can ‘reserve’ a painting –and they are booked up well in advance! The miniatures are ‘more than meets the eye’: they are exquisite replications of our world and the things we love rendered in minute perfection, forming a tiny and, paradoxically, vast body of work.
Postcards for ants is an exquisite retrospective collection from miniaturist artist and global Instagram phenomenon Lorraine Loots. It includes high-quality reproductions of her entire 2014 collection: 365 Miniature watercolours inspired by Cape Town in its role as World design capital 2014. Part art book, part Cape Town tourist guide, Postcards for ants puts a microscope onto one of the world’s most beautiful cities, and is an instant collector’s must-have.
Hildegard se lewensloop word deur oorloë bepaal. Eers vlug haar adellike gesin voor die Bolsjewiste van Rusland na Pole en ‘n paar jaar later volg die Eerste Wêreldoorlog. Tog lei sy nog die bevoorregte lewe van ‘n lid van die adelstand. Die Tweede Wêreldoorlog het egter nie respek vir stand nie – sy ly dieselfde lot as almal wat in Europa vasgekeer is in hierdie onheilstyd. Na die oorlog bring nood haar na Suidwes-Afrika met haar vyfjarige dogtertjie. Hier vind sy eindelik vrede. Hierdie eerste boek van ‘n trilogie laat mens diep onder die indruk van die kwesbaarheid van vroue en kinders.
