Description
'Irma Stern: The Early Years, 1894–1933' by Karel Schoeman is a biographical study of the formative years of one of South Africa’s most important modern artists. Drawing primarily on unpublished documents from the Irma Stern Collection at the South African Library, Schoeman traces her childhood in the Transvaal, her years in Germany and her emergence as an artist influenced by German Expressionism. The book follows her early career and artistic development up to 1933, providing historical context through documentary material and a chronology of her life. Illustrated with black-and-white reproductions, this carefully researched work is an important reference for readers interested in Irma Stern, South African art and the cultural history of the early twentieth century.
