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

BOOK REVIEWS

From Joy Manne.

International author (including Soul Therapy, and Buddhist Psychology)

It is a marvellous book. I was riveted from the first page and I devoured it. Read it all the way
through. A book like yours is an inspiration. It’s truthfulness opens the soul. Your flexibility
with following Guidance along your life, surrendering to your cycles in deep humility, was a
huge inspiration …. You dared to develop. To jump without a  safety net. To leave success
and begin new things.”

From Ufrieda Ho

Wits Review

As memoir it’s intensely personal, blunt and honest in places, reflective and funny in
others. The plot is full of her family members, but the book is also a cast of artists,
celebs and characters who in their time made history or at least headlines.”

From Edward Tsumele

Business Day 2015 Grahamstown National Arts Festival/BASA Arts Journalist of the Year:
Reviews Category.

“Your wonderful book  not only captures your life in your various roles -art dealer, curator,
gallery owner and educator, but also gives a great deal of insights into the South African art
scene  especially from the 70s to the 90s.”
