Arnold, Marion I. Women and Art in South Africa. New York, NY: St. Martin’s Press, 1996.

This book tackles gender-based topics, first examining pre-Twentieth Century women artists and the depictions of women in South Africa by artists of both genders. Landscape painting and botanical art, areas that attracted women artists, are discussed in separate essays. “Portrait of servitude” examines depictions of women as servants. The painter Irma Stern (1894-1966) is the focus of another essay, and women’s self-portraits, yet another. Moving to the more recent period, Arnold critiques the work of sculptors and their depictions of the body. Feminist perspectives overflow in a final essay on modern women artists active in South Africa in the 1980s and 1990s.
