Trying to uncover the truth behind painting by ‘King of Kitsch’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For generations of South Africans, living room décor was incomplete without “The Green Lady” adorning the mantlepiece or “The Dying Swan” hanging above the settee. In the 1950s, 60s and 70s, owning a Tretchikoff print was the height of middle-class décor, the epitome of taste, even as the art establishment dismissed his work as kitsch. More recently his art, which now sells for millions of rand, went from kitsch to cool, and that is the starting point of a quirky new South African documentary. P

Adopted at birth by parents who met in the Eastern Cape, Ashley Brownlee grew up with a persistent sense of otherness, and in his forthcoming memoir Agency, the Klein Karoo guesthouse owner tries to make sense of dreaded illnesses, poor life choices and heartbreaking losses.

Creating artistic magic from scrap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Working from her cosy Bathurst bedroom surrounded by snoozing dogs, Clare Rothwell creates whimsical, functional art from newspapers, dictionary pages and egg boxes. Former city slicker Rothwell, 50, who moved from Johannesburg to Bathurst with her mother, Elinor, on a whim 11 years ago, uses materials that would otherwise be discarded, turning them into animal sculptures — some of which provide lighting. Her sustainable mixed-media practice began in 2014 when she could not find the lamp she wan
