South African painter, sculptor and ceramicist Irma Stern (1894-1966) achieved national and international recognition during her lifetime.

"This project ... is, on one level, one of salvage, of bringing to the fore a somewhat neglected aspect of Irma Stern's art ... Over a long painting career, Irma Stern returned to Still Life both to challenge tradition and renew her own practice. This study explores the ideas of continuity and change in her treatment of the genre." Michael Godby, from the introduction
