Life

Exhibition in Dresden 1961.

Eva Schulze-Knabe studied from 1924 to 1926 at what was then the State Academy for Graphic Arts and Book Trade in Leipzig and from 1928 to 1932 at the Dresden Art Academy . Her teachers there included Ferdinand Dorsch , Max Feldbauer , Robert Sterl and Otto Dix . From 1929 she was a member of the artist group Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists (Asso) and from 1931 in the KPD . In the same year she married the artist Fritz Schulze , who was executed in Plötzensee in 1942 . Both were friends with Hans Grundig , Lea Grundig and Auguste Lazar .

After the start of the National Socialist dictatorship , she tried, with some comrades, to maintain the structures of the banned KPD. She was arrested for the first time in 1933 and imprisoned in the Hohnstein concentration camp; she was released after half a year. Her resistance group was discovered in 1941, whereupon she was sentenced to life imprisonment by the People's Court in 1942 .

After their liberation by the Soviet army from the Waldheim prison in 1945, she lived a freelancer in Dresden. In 1947 she took part in the first exhibition of Dresden artists. She was in charge of the painting and drawing circle of the Sachsenwerk Niedersedlitz founded in 1948 . In 1965 Eva Schulze-Knabe was represented with works in Bologna and Turin at the international exhibition "Arte e Resistenza in Europa".

Schulze-Knabe died on July 15, 1976 in Dresden and was buried in the Heidefriedhof . There is a memorial stone for the artist and Fritz Schulze in a green area in the Plauen district of Dresden.
