© Suzanne Perlman

The strong lines and deep, intense colour in Perlman’s painting reflect her love affair with the vibrant landscape of the West Indies. Perlman painted Curaçao and its people extensively after settling there in 1940 when she and her husband fled The Netherlands during the Second World War.
