Or as low as Description
Irma Stern is born in 1894 to German Jewish parents at Schweizer-Reneke, a small town in the North West Province of South Africa, where her father established a thriving trading store and cattle farm. Interned during the Anglo Boer War (1899-1902) because of his pro-Boer sympathies, Irma and her brother are taken by their mother to Cape Town. After his release, the family goes to Germany and thus begins a pattern of regular travel, which will characterize her life.
