Irma Stern Colouring-In book sells out
What do you do if you are six years old, have a box of crayons, lots
of creative enthusiasm and your mother presents you with yet another colour-in
book with Disney inspired characters that you cannot relate to?
You create your own .
That’s how it started thirty years ago when the artist asked her mom
for a different kind of book and her mother suggested she make her own.
She has not looked back since. Today Maraja Badenhorst, artist and
teacher, has just published the first in a planned series of well known South
African artists – twelve works by each artist. The first quickly sold out
at the Klein Karoo Arts Festival in Oudtshoorn last month. This comprises
twelve paintings, all still-life – from the work of Irma Stern.
