Doramaria Purschian , also Dora Purschian, (* July 6, 1890 in Berlin as Ella Margaretha Maria Dora Purschian , † July 11, 1972 in Berlin) was a German graphic artist and painter who mainly painted portraits in oil.

Life

Purschian was the daughter of the engineer Ernst Purschian and his wife Gabriela. She attended the Royal Art School (drawing teacher seminar) in Berlin from 1907 to 1909. It is noteworthy that this made her one of the first women to receive training in the fine arts, which was extremely controversial at the time. The Berlin State Art Academy did not accept women as students until 1919. In 1909 she passed the exam as a drawing teacher. Until 1912 she continued her training as a painter as a student of Fritz Burger and Lovis Corinth . Her first solo exhibition in 1918 in the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum Hildesheim brought her first successes.

During the First World War she was a Red Cross sister . She then worked as a freelance portrait painter until 1930. Her brother Frank died in 1939 and Purschian took over the management of her brother's heating company, which he had run since his father's death. In the documents of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts , she is described as a good portraitist and children's painter (performance group B). Doramaria Purschian spent a few days in Otterndorf between 1915 and 1918 . Otterndorf is a small town in Lower Saxony that lies at the mouth of the Elbe. She spent the days with the painters Hildegard Pohle (born August 15, 1880 in Berlin) and Margarete Dieckhoff (born October 21, 1876 in Berlin). Both painters were members of the VdBK .

After the Second World War , the awarding of the "Mention Speciale" on the occasion of the 2nd Exhibition of European Painters in the USA in New York in 1969 and her appointment as an honorary member of the Art Academy in Rome should be emphasized. Further exhibitions followed, for example in 1947 at the Kunstschau Zehlendorfer Künstler and in the Schering Kunstverein in 1981. From 1929/30 to 1961 she was a member of the Association of Berliner Künstlerinnen 1867 eV .

In 1949 Doramaria Purschian's work was interrupted by the serious health consequences of a brutal robbery by the " Gladow gang ". She has not recovered from this attack. Doramaria Purschian died in Berlin in 1972. She found her final resting place in the old part of the park cemetery in Berlin-Lichterfelde .
