Irmin Henkel

South African 1921-1977 


Irmin Henkel was born in Germany in 1921. He was a self-taught artist whose oeuvre encompasses still life, landscape, and portraiture – including nudes. However, he was also a qualified orthopaedic surgeon who practised in Germany and continued in South Africa after settling in Pretoria in 1951. His artistic skills allowed him to become the leading choice for official government portraits from the 1950s to the 1970s.
