Irma Stern (1894-1966)

'Our nature glows with colour, and life. South Africa's colours are like no others on earth. It cheers me just to be able to look at them and sometimes I am mad because I cannot crowd everything in on a canvas - not on a thousand canvases.'
I. Stern, quoted in R. Hourwich Reyher, 'A lot about Dr Loram and my first African trip, Book II', 1924.
