~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LANDSCAPE PRINTS  |  Until 29 May  |  East Gallery

In this exhibition we find landscapes from the permanent collection, made from different printmaking techniques such as etching, linocut, silkscreen and lithography. The word landscape derives from the Dutch landschap, originally meaning a patch of cultivated ground, which later came to mean an image. The word entered the English language at the beginning of the 17th century, purely as a term for works of art. “Landscape art” is a term that covers the depiction of natural scenery with its elements arranged into a coherent composition.

ABSTRACT AND SEMI-ABSTRACT ART  |  Until July  |  North Gallery and Henry Preiss Hall A large selection of abstract and semi-abstract artworks ranging from the early 1960s up to 2001, including artists such as Larry Scully, Anthony Nkotsi, Kenneth Bakker, George Boys, Sidney Goldblatt, Dirk Meerkotter and Cecily Sash.

A STORY OF SOUTH AFRICAN ART  |  Until July  |  Albert Werth Hall This selection of artworks from the permanent collection of the Museum briefly reviews South African art. The selection includes the works of early 20th century painters, Resistance artists of the 1980s and artists of the 21st century. The exhibition is based on the secondary school syllabus and artworks are rotated regularly.

Exhibition at Digby Hoets Studio

First ever exhibition by Digby Hoets and students                                                             

plus Garth Hoets, Lesley-Ann Hoets, Harri Hoets & Leigh Hoets

at his studio at 125, Springfield Rd, Carlswald, Midrand

11- 12 May 10am to 5pm

Digby Hoets has been teaching pottery and making his own pots since 1973.  Many South African potters and ceramists have started their careers in his studio and continue to work there.  Digby's home and studio are located on a 2 hectare property in Midrand's Carlswald valley - a tranquil, green enclave within an area which is now better known for high density housing developments, office blocks and shopping centres.  Digby's students, many of whom have been with him for the last 20-30 years, are already accomplished potters in their own right but continue to use the facilities provided by the studio for the stimulation they derive from working with Digby and fellow students - the setting of the studio in a beautiful well-treed property with a dam and wetland also adds to the attraction.
 
Cinda Hunter has her unique 'shop' on the property.  She will be open on Saturday and Sunday. Cinda travels extensively to source her jewellery, furniture, artefacts, textiles, clothing and accessories from India, South East Asia and Africa. www.cindahunter.com 083 284 1818 cinda@cindahunter.com
