Elsa Wilder
Elsa Wilder (* 1918 in Friedingen ; † 1987 in Kiel ) was a German artist .
Wilder had dedicated himself to modern painting. A special feature of her pictures was the abstract representation of the figures in the form of "distorted stick figures" and recurring, differently sized circular integrations. Another feature was the minimalist color palette, which was often limited to just two different shades.
The first major exhibitions at the end of the 1960s ensured increasing popularity and years later opened the doors for her to the “Grand Prix International d'Art” in Monaco, where she won first prize. At the same time she became a member of GEDOK , an association to promote talented women artists.
Until her death in 1987, she kept creating new works, which were presented at countless exhibitions. Elsa Wilder died in 1987 in Kiel, her adopted home of many years.
