The Big Picture is Natalie Knight’s Art-o-Biography — part memoir, part art history — brimming with beautiful art images, society photographs, and captivating stories behind the works she showcased.
Natalie chronicles her years as owner of the landmark Hyde Park gallery (1980–1995), where she mingled with and promoted many of South Africa’s most celebrated artists — including Willem Boshoff, Esther Mahlangu, Alfred Thoba, and Thomas Kgope — long before they became household names.
This richly illustrated volume celebrates the glamour, grit, and vibrancy of the South African art scene in the 1980s, offering readers an intimate glimpse into Natalie’s life, passions, and creative journey.

“In many ways, the life of Natalie Liknaitzky (Knight) is a memorable work of art… Natalie is one of those rarities – a great success at life.”
— Lana Jacobson, Author of Unstoppable: The Natalie Knight Story
