“Young Malay Maiden with Black Hair” by Irma Stern (South African) - Oil on canvas / 1938 - Brücke-Museum (Berlin, Germany) #WomenInArt #IrmaStern #Stern #art #artText #artwork #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #BlueskyArt #PortraitofaWoman #BrueckeMuseum #SouthAfricanArtist #WomenPaintingWomen
A young woman sits, filling the canvas in a tight, cropped view in a pose that feels both elegant and guarded. Her wavy black hair is gathered low at the neck, catching blue-green highlights in thick paint. Large, half-lidded eyes, ringed by violet shadow, hold a steady gaze beneath strong arched brows; her lips are closed, tinted a muted rose. She wears a white, thin-strapped camisole. Warm tan-and-brown skin is built from brisk strokes of peach, rust, and pale yellow, with cool green and purple dragged into the shadows. One arm folds across her chest, the forearm cutting a diagonal through the composition. Her hands rise near her cheek, fingers loosely bent as if pausing mid-thought. The surface is visibly worked with overlapping strokes, small ridges, and scraped passages that let underlayers breathe through. Behind her, a saturated violet ground is scored with a loose golden grid. Dated 1938, this portrait shows Irma Stern’s modernist compression of simplified forms, heightened color, and a direct encounter that refuses decorative sweetness. The title’s “Malay” label shows how identity can be assigned from the outside. Stern counters that flattening by making the sitter feel self-contained, watchful, fully present. The Brücke-Museum’s exhibition asks us to hold Stern’s contradictions together. She trained in Weimar and Berlin and was persecuted in Nazi Germany as a Jewish artist, but she was also a white South African working within colonial and apartheid-era power. In that light, the woman’s unflinching gaze might be a quiet refusal of easy categories.

You know that feeling when your eyes lock with that one person who sets your heart into a galop and everything dissappears. Hercules is about that guy!

A Free Palestine, at a cost
A Free Palestine, they pay the price
What is their crime, how is this fine
Children dying, children crying, children loosing their limbsxwhatvia their crime
All lost for a Free Palestine...

The pain is to much
The heart aches
The silence kills
The eyes can't unsee
The truth is infront of me
No doubt in my head
That Palestine will be FREE 🇵🇸
