Willem Postma en sy vrou, Susanna Elizabeth Sophia Snijman, oudste dogter van ds. W.J. Snyman, jare lange predikant van die Venterstad en suster van dr. P.C. Snijman, leraar van die Steynsburg van 1902 tot sy dood in 1915. Die Afrikaanse skryfster Minnie Postma was getroud met Philippus, die vyfde van die egpaar se 10 kinders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaurika se vader, wat ten tyde van haar geboorte predikant was van die Gereformeerde kerk Bethulie, het in 1903 na die Vrystaatse hoofstad verhuis waar hy die Gereformeerde kerk Bloemfontein op 13 Junie daardie jaar gestig het. Hy was ook bekend onder sy skrywersnaam, Dr. O'Kulis, skrywer van Die Eselskakebeen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerwyl sy in Bloemfonteinin matriek was, sterf haar vader onverwags op 13 Desember 1920 en moes sy die skool verlaat. Sy het gaan werk as tikster in die destydse Grey-universiteitskollege, tans die Universiteit van die Vrystaat. Agttien lang jare het sy stil voortgewerk, en die menigte studente was onbewus van die brandende begeerte om haar aan haar kuns te wy, wat haar elke beskikbare pennie laat spaar en menige jongmeisieplesier laat verontagsaam het. Sy het aandklasse geneem in teken en skilder en pryse gewen op kunswedstryde, maar soms was sy haar leermeesters vooruit, en sy het gevoel dat sy niks verder kom nie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUit die karige inkomste kon sy eindelik genoeg spaar om in 1935 'n jaar verlof te neem en vir ’n jaar oorsee te vertrek vir studie. Dit het die einde aan haar verlowing aan Jan Fourie beteken, wat later getroud is met Anne Francoise van Rooy, die sesde kind van ds. Koos van Rooy en Breggie Postma. Die Fouries se een dogter, Breggie, was getroud met ds. W.J.I.M. du Plessis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy Milly Steger, ’n Duitse beeldhouer (15 Junie 1881 – 31 Oktober 1948), 'n leerling van die beroemde Georg Kolbe, in Berlyn moes Laurika Postma tot haar verrassing en ontnugtering verneem dat sy duidelik talent wys as beeldhoudster. Dadelik het sy daarmee begin en nooit weer teruggekyk na die skilderkuns nie, want sy het gevind dit is die medium waarin sy haar kon uitleef. In dié kort jaar van harde werk, waarin sy soveel moontlik rondgegaan het om alles te verwerk en in te drink, het sy ook in München les geneem by Ernst Balz (1904–1943) en het vinnig gevorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1942 het Postma die opdrag gekry om saam met Hennie Potgieter, Frikkie Kruger en Peter Kirchoff die historiese friese te maak vir die Voortrekkermonument, waaraan hulle vyf jaar gewerk het. Dis 'n werk wat besonderse dissipline en samewerking geverg het om 'n deurlopende eenheid te kry uit die werk van vier individue. Elkeen was verantwoordelik vir agt panele, en Postma het onder meer die “Vermoording van Dingaan\", “Dirkie Uys\", “Deborah Retief\", “Aankoms van Pretorius\", “Gelofte van Cilliers\", “Die moedelose mans\" en “Bloukrans\" uitgebeeld.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerug in Suid-Afrika moes sy van vooraf begin werk aan die Boerenooientjie, 'n treffende uitbeelding van die jong dogter wat moedig, ken omhoog, voortbeur in haar Voortrekkerdrag, teen 'n sterk wind in. Anton van Wouw het die beeld nog gesien by die gietery en baie daarvan gehou.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaarna het sy 'n borsbeeld van haar oom, Totius (hy was getroud met haar oupa, ds. Dirk Postma se jongste dogter, in peinsende stemming, en op verskillende tye ook borsbeelde van press. Hoffman en M.T. Steyn van die Vrystaat, van D.F. Malherbe, van dr. Stals en van Irma Moerdyk voltooi. Een van haar vroeë werk was 'n plastiese beelding van “Griesel se skepsel\", 'n swart vrou van oor die 100 jaar oud, die ene plooie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn opdrag van 'n groep Afrikaners in Lusaka, Noord-Rhodesië, het sy 'n beeld gemaak van twee hande wat 'n fakkel omhoog hou. Postma het ’n besonderse liefde vir die beelding van hande gehad en het byvoorbeeld laat in die 1950’s 'n afbeelding van die biddende hande van die Gereformeerde Vrouevereniging se wapen “Bid en Werk” voltooi vir die Lettie du Plessis-eetsaal van die PU vir CHO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Jager-Haum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37482155901078,"sku":"Laurika Postma: 'n biografie","price":650.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210104_182403.jpg?v=1609781473"},{"product_id":"philip-bawcombes-kimberley-signed-by-the-author-philp-bawcombes-special-limited-edition-bawcombes-philp-scannell-ted","title":"Philip Bawcombe's Kimberley (Signed by the Author, Philp Bawcombe's, special limited edition) Bawcombe's, Philp \u0026 Scannell, Ted","description":"\u003cp\u003eSigned and dated by the Artist, Philp Bawcombe's.

It has to be accepted that the selection of this image has everything to do with its subject which is a highly unusual one for this artist. One has also to bear in mind that as an artist Coetzer kept certain kinds of subject a ‘private’ matter. At one time, for example, still life was a genre in which he worked entirely to his own satisfaction, not intending it in any way for public consumption. The ‘discovery’ of Coetzer as a still life painter by an appreciative public was a later development in his career. The white South African public appreciated the historical veracity of Coetzer’s scenes from Afrikaner history, and there was a considerable demand for his small idealised landscapes that valourised the ‘vacant’ and open spaces of the South African interior. Very Rare and collectible fine art book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CUM Books,","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37482727440534,"sku":"W.H.

His most enduring works were the SOUTH AND EAST AFRICAN YEARBOOK AND GUIDE series he edited from 1940 onward. The YEARBOOK was initially edited by his father for the Union Steamship Company, and later the Union-Castle Steamship Company. This annual overview of these lands served as an in-depth guide to the ports and travel routes of the various steamships, but then expanded to cover all aspects that a traveler might wish to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo oversee the publishing of these Annuals, Gordon-Brown would travel once a year, courtesy of Union-Castle, to London. It was here that he became acquainted with various book, map and art dealers and became interested in their offerings relating to southern Africa. It was also during these years that he became very friendly with the great Cape art collector and philanthropist Dr William Fehr. Gordon-Brown began to act on his behalf, purchasing items in London and elsewhere overseas to add to what later became the famous Fehr Collection, now owned by the South African state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the YEARBOOK he authored PICTORIAL ART IN SOUTH AFRICA …TO 1875 in 1952. This was published by the London book dealer Chas Sawyer who specialised in books and art on southern Africa. Some years later he completed a book on the Cape artist Christopher Webb Smith and edited the Van Riebeeck Society publication in 1966 on PRIVATE BUCK ADAMS. In 1972 he wrote AN ARTIST’S JOURNEY which contained sketches found in the Library of Parliament in Cape Town by an unnamed visitor. Gordon-Brown gives some pointers as to whom the artist might be and followed his route with explanations of the sketches. This was published by another friend of Gordon-Brown, A.A. Balkema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time as he was writing books, Gordon-Brown was also writing introductions to books on southern Africa. He fulfilled this task with regard to the   published by Balkema, the two volume set of Burchell’s TRAVELS published by Struik and JAMES EWART’S JOURNAL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brief overview of Gordon-Brown serves to set the scene for his most important work published by Balkema in 1975 PICTORIAL AFRICANA, a survey of old South African paintings, drawings and prints to the end of the nineteenth century, with a biographical dictionary of 1000 artists. This was an extension of his PICTORIAL ART published two decades previously, but much expanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this stage of his life it would have been true to say that Gordon-Brown was undoubtedly the person most suited to expound upon art produced before the 20th century relating to southern Africa. His knowledge and experience shine through. No artist escaped his attention however limited their output was and it would be true to say that this work is about as complete as it could be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Bradlow (probably the only person who could be said to match Gordon-Brown’s knowledge) in reviewing this publication for the Cape Times (21\/5\/75) called it a “landmark” and the “definitive work on the subject”. Forty-five years on and one can only agree with that statement. No other publication has supplanted it and it still remains required reading for any collector or individual interested in this area. A.A. Balkema shrewdly also published at this stage Esme Berman’s ART AND ARTISTS OF SOUTH AFRICA, an illustrated biographical dictionary and historical survey of painters…artists since 1875. This publication neatly complimented Gordon-Brown’s work and meant researchers and collectors of Africana and art of southern Africa were easily able to learn and expand their knowledge of the subject. Thus was the local art market informed, expanded and encouraged to grow and prosper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A A Balkema","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37512764326038,"sku":"Pictorial Africana: A survey of old South African paintings, drawings, and prints to the end of the nineteenth century, with a biographical dictionary of one thousand artists by Gordon-Brown, Alfred","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210107_183942.jpg?v=1610048402"},{"product_id":"gregoire-boonzaier-by-bekker-martin","title":"Gregoire Boonzaier by Bekker, Martin","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGregoire Boonzaier by Bekker, Martin\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN is\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9780798125680 \/\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e0798125683\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePortraying the artist and his world – as a child, the man and the artist. 112 Pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlipcase shows signs of heavy edge-wear with some handling marks.

The one heritage success is perhaps the old iron framed Park Station, but that now stands isolated , unused and unloved despite recycling plans.

A quiet, diffident and unassuming man, he created a substantial number of exquisite paintings, with rare exceptions African-themed. His untimely death at 52 robbed the world of great art. Keith Alexander was a prolific painter, and all his work was interesting, special and different. He used a rare technique of combining clear, almost photographic, realism with surreal images or effects. Sometimes he played tricks with perspective, more often he introduced features which are bizarrely out of place in his works and yet could belong. His major theme, inspired by what he saw in the Namib, was the impermanence of man's work in the face of a relentless nature, and this theme is evident in many of his paintings. Those lucky enough to have visited the Namib desert will appreciate his astonishing skill in capturing light, heat and atmosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball Publishers SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37537000358038,"sku":"KEITH ALEXANDER The artist in retrospect","price":5200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210109_165206.jpg?v=1610295008"},{"product_id":"arabella-roupell-pioneer-artist-of-cape-flowers-special-de-luxe-edition-32-120-by-allan-bird","title":"Arabella Roupell.
