In this visually stunning hardback, globally loved artist Lois van
Baarle, AKA Loish, explores the origins, influences, and features of
her style, and helps readers do the same deep dive into their own style.
It is her third book with 3dtotal Publishing, a natural progression
from the bestselling The Art of Loish (2016) and The Sketch Book of
Loish (2018) which to date have sold over 85,000 copies combined. The
Style of Loish now sees the artist explore her own style through
several facets of her work, including creating volume, choosing color,
establishing flow, and the ideas and subjects themselves. While looking
at the motivation behind her own work, Loish also guides the reader
through ideas and tutorials to help them identify, understand, and even
evolve their own style. The book bursts with brand new, specially
commissioned art that provides a unique opportunity to understand the
foundations of Loish’s style. She reveals the journey she took to
pinpoint when and how her style was created.
Combined with candid advice and a passion for supporting fellow
artists, the book is beautiful, inspirational, and practical for
artists of all styles and abilities.

Hierdie publikasie gee ’n volledige beeld van die kunstenaar Frans
David Oerder (1867–1944) se oeuvre – sy Anglo-Boereoorlogtekeninge,
landskappe, genrestukke, portrette, blomstudies en stillewes,
interieurs, dierestudies en grafiese werk. Geen moeite is ontsien
om hierdie boek so volledig en betroubaar moontlik te maak nie.
Argivale bronne in die Kunsargief van die Universiteit van
Pretoria, die Argief van die Johannesburg Kunsmuseum en die
Nasionale Argief van Suid-Afrika in Pretoria het grootliks bygedra
tot die toevoeging van inligting oor hierdie kunstenaar wat nie
voorheen bekend was nie. Dieplakboek van Gerda Oerder en ’n lang
lesing met detailinligting oor Oerder se vroee lewe deur mev.
Lorimer in die Kunsargief van die Universiteit van Pretoria het
bygedra tot ’n nuwe vertolking van die lewe en werk van hierdie
belangrike Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar. Tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog
was Oerder die enigste amptelike kunstenaar aan Boerekant, maar tot
dusver is nog geen volledige geskiedenis van sy deelname aan die
oorlog geskryf nie. In hierdie boek word Oerder se
Anglo-Boereoorlogtekeninge nou vir die eerste keer so volledig
moontlik afgedruk en beskryf.

Dink mens aan Wes-Afrika, dink jy aan woestyn en kamele, Bedoeiene
en swaar tekstielweefstof, silwer juweliersware en stomende
speserye. Tog is daar naas die bykans mistieke idille-beeld
mediaflitse van honger en armoede, politieke onstabiliteit en
diktatorskap, vrees en verskrikking. As vryskutjoernalis in Dakar
kry Louw die geleentheid om lande soos Senegal, Togo, Ghana, die
Ivoorkus en Burkina Faso nie net as “toubab” (Westerling) en toeris
te besoek nie, maar kry sy ook glimpse van die streek se hartklop:
onreg, ongelykheid en onmag wat dekades na die val van kolonialisme
nog die vinger wys na Europese hebsug ... maar ook die kuns, die
kleur en die ritme van ’n leefstyl so diep verweef met die waai van
die wind, die skakerings van sandduine en die val van die
Afrika-son dat dit byna anderkant Westerse woordeskat le. Anderkant
’n eerste kyk. Anderkant Timboektoe.
