Eve Gramatzki
Eve Gramatzki (born October 16, 1935 in Königsberg (Prussia) , † May 24, 2003 in Paris ) was a German - French graphic artist .
Life and works
After escaping from Königsberg, Gramatzki spent the years 1945 to 1962 in Hamburg and studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts . She received the academy letter in 1961 at the age of 26. She got to know the works of Mark Rothko and Piet Mondrian .
Gramatzki lived in Paris from 1962 to 1980 and learned to appreciate the works of Yves Klein and Arman . Although she was a stranger in Paris, she quickly got in touch and exhibited by the gallery owners Bernhard Jordan, Iris Clert , Florence Arnaud, Eva Maria Fruhtrunk, Philippe Boutibonnes, Martin Barré and Anne Tronche. She was influenced by the literature of Jorge Luis Borges , Peter Handke , Thomas Bernhard , Marguerite Duras , Samuel Beckett and the dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch .
For a long time she led a simple life with her husband François Tissier in the Ardèche , which benefited her asthma . She exhibited in many places in Montpellier , Nîmes , Anduze , Arles , Narbonne and Nice in the south of France.
From the end of 1988 she lived in Montpellier. In March 1996 she returned to Paris and moved into a Paris studio on Rue de L'Amiral Roussin in the 15th arrondissement . Long walks should replace her life in the country, the city and her studio with the large windows seemed cold and forbidding to her. At the age of 67, she jumped out of the window of her studio on the ninth floor.
