Congolese Woman, Wall Art by Irma Stern
About The Artwork
1942. Oil on canvas
Irma Stern travelled to Central Africa on three occasions: in 1942, 1946 and 1955. She documented her experiences as an artist, writer and collector in a series of letters to friends, as well as in the published journal titled Congo (1943).
She sent her car by rail to Elisabethville, now Lubumbashi, and there engaged a mechanic/ chauffeur to accompany her on a two-thousand mile trip, from Elisabethville to Rwanda-Urundi (Rwanda) and Stanleyville (Kisangani) before returning nearly five months later to hold an exhibition in the recently opened Ethnographic Museum in Elisabethville.
On her travels she also visited the Mangbetu people of NE Congo – and this image shows one of the women she met while there.
About The Artist
Irma Stern (2 October 1894 – 23 August 1966) was a major South African artist who achieved national and international recognition in her lifetime. Almost one hundred solo exhibitions were held during her lifetime both in South Africa and Europe, including Germany, France, Italy and England. The Irma Stern Museum was established in 1971 and is the house the artist lived in for almost four decades.
