Maria Magdalena Laubser (/laʊbˈʃæ/; 14 April 1886 – 17 May 1973)[3] was a South African painter and printmaker. She is generally considered, along with Irma Stern, to be responsible for the introduction of Expressionism to South Africa.[4] Her work was initially met with derision by critics but has gained wide acceptance, and now she is regarded as an exemplary and quintessentially South African artist.[5]
