Life

Elsa Sturm-Lindner was born in Dresden in 1916 as the daughter of the landscape and animal painter Hans Lindner-Zschopau (1883–1944). She first studied at the Dresden Academy of Applied Arts with Max Frey and Georg Erler and then at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts with Rudolf Schramm-Zittau .

Elsa Sturm-Lindner worked as a portrait and animal painter, graphic artist, book illustrator and press illustrator. As a press illustrator, she documented countless Dresden theater and opera performances from the late 1940s to the 1970s. Drawings of theatrical performances were an alternative to the black and white theatrical photography customary at the time and were used to illustrate reviews . Her quickly sketched pen drawings and pastels of theater performances enriched the dramaturgical sheets of the Dresden State Theater, especially from 1948 to 1952 . In the Dresden daily newspaper Sächsisches Tageblatt (1946 to 1990) she also illustrated daily reports as a "house draftsman".

Elsa Sturm-Lindner was the so-called commissioned artist of the Dresden Housing Combine (WBK). In this capacity she made many cityscapes (pastels and oil paintings) of Dresden, on which a WBK building, i.e. a prefabricated building, could always be seen. She then sold these pictures to the WBK. In the WBK these pictures were hung in offices.

She lived in Niederwartha and later until her death at Kiefernweg 19 in Rähnitz-Hellerau .
