Erika Eisenblätter-Laskowski
Erika Eisenblätter-Laskowski (born May 22, 1908 in the Grenzwald forestry near Pillkallen in the Schloßberg district (East Prussia) ; † April 16, 2003 in Regensburg ) was a German painter and sculptor.
Life
family
In 1934 Erika Laskowski married the son of the landscape and theater painter Wilhelm Eisenblätter , the painter Gerhard Eisenblätter (born May 28, 1907 in Königsberg , † August 3, 1975 in Stockelsdorf ); together they had a son (Anselm Eisenblätter (* 1939)), who later received a professorship as an architect and to whom she moved to Regensburg in 1981.
education
After initially self-taught expressive attempts, she studied at the Königsberg Art Academy . She was taught from 1927 to 1929 by Karl Storch the Elder and then from 1929 to 1933 by the landscape, figure and portrait painter Alfred Particle and by Fritz Burmann , with whom she was a master student; in Storch's class she also met her future husband. During this time she spent study visits to the Curonian Spit , the Black Forest , Berlin , Masuria , Karlsbad , Prague and Dresden .
Career
As early as 1931 she made a fresco for the Königsberg Art Academy and since 1935 she has participated in numerous exhibitions in Königsberg, Mannheim , Berlin and Danzig .
The Second World War led to the loss of her oeuvre ; only a few pastels could be saved. In 1945, she escaped with her six-year-old son via Braunsberg and Köslin to Lübeck- Stockelsdorf, where she met her husband again after the war.
Since 1947, her pictures and sculptures have been shown again at exhibitions in Hamburg , Düsseldorf , Dresden and Schleswig-Holstein .
In addition to painting, she worked as a sculptor and mostly created small-format bronzes , and she worked on construction , including reverse glass paintings at the Hohenstein train station and, in 1960, designing the mosaic for young people's leisure time at the Schönböcken school near Lübeck.
Picturesque work
Erika Eisenblätter-Laskowski's preferred subjects were atmospheric landscapes in oil, in heavy, earthy colors with motifs from East Prussia. Her pastels partly show a strong abstraction of the landscape as well as an integration of figurative elements. The rather matte, dull surface of the pictures, which was achieved by adding opaque white and a binding agent to the oil paint, appears soft and delicate.
