About Madeiran Man Irma Stern Portrait Painting
The most valuable piece of the Madeiran Man is a painting by South African artist Irma Stern (1894-1966). The portrait is about seeking an escape from her troubled marriage to Dr Johannes Prinz, Stern spent three months in Madeira in 1931. Far from finding refuge from her personal problems, she was treated for a nervous breakdown shortly after arriving. As a worldly Jewish woman, she felt further isolated by the traditional Catholic society and the patriarchal nature of Madeiran culture of the time. Nonetheless, Stern was incredibly prolific in Madeira, and for the first time her portraits from this period are predominantly of men. Her mental anguish translates clearly in the harsh colour and turbulent rhythms of the work, but she also masters her use of light and colour. Her Madeiran paintings are considered among her best.About the Art Prints
