In the interwar period, she was celebrated in Berlin for her \"exotic\" paintings and later became a prominent artist in South Africa. This richly illustrated volume focuses on her highly expressive portraits and addresses questions regarding the contexts in which the works were created and how they are seen today.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe German-South African artist Irma Stern (1894-1966) was a well-known figure in the Berlin art scene after the First World War, until she was forced to leave Germany forever in 1933 due to Nazi persecution of the Jews.
