Publisher's Synopsis
In Remembering Irma, Mona Berman shares her close reading of the letters, situating them in the context in which they were written and weaving around them her own memories of this brilliant, passionate and difficult personality. The letters shed light on parts of the artist's life few people know about -- her unhappy love affairs, her volatile relationships and her travels into remote parts of Africa. Remembering Irma will intrigue anyone interested in the life and art of Irma Stern, whose passion and extraordinary talent made her one of the great women painters of the twentieth century.
