STILL LIFE AT THE IRMA STERN MUSEUM

This is one of my 'after Irma' plates on show - 'Still life with Pomegranates'. I am sitting at the museum, reading about the life of Irma Stern and feeling an extraordinary sense of 'still life' in this haven away from the chaos of crazy Cape Town... There are many visitors coming constantly to see the show which is most encouraging, interesting and inspiring chatting to them.
'The artist creates in order to become free of himself, only to find himself again in the end' - Irma Stern, Umgababa 3rd September 1922
