Stern, Irma
Still Life With Roses
- 1953
- Colour lithograph
- Elevation of Market, Sir Herbert Baker. Drwaing no. 9
- 59 x 74 cm
An exceptional flower piece by Stern, one of South Africa’s foremost artists, this work returns to a subject she painted often: the flowers from her Rosebank, Cape Town garden. Rich colour, creamy texture and thick palette-knife strokes give the composition its characteristic energy, while affirming Stern’s distinctive still-life style.
