This work describes different facets of South African settler primitivism and the
interactions of its protagonists, who moved between the poles of European modernism
and local traditional cultures. Marked by great ambivalences, they oscillated
between transnational and national approaches to an art production that appropriated
indigenous landscapes, peoples and their visual cultures in order to indigenise
white settlers to the South African land. A focus is set on the women artists Irma
Stern and Maggie Laubser, who were key to the development of South African
modernism.
