Suzanne Eisendieck (born November 14, 1906 in Danzig ; † June 15, 1998 in Paris ) was a post-impressionist painter .

Life

Eisendieck was born in Gdansk on Holzraum-Platz 2B. Her parents were German-born Karl Eisendick and Anna Eisendick, née Klegus.

At the age of twelve Eisendieck became one of the youngest pupils of the painter Fritz August Pfuhle in Danzig . At the age of 21 she went to the United State Schools for Free and Applied Arts in Berlin for two years , where she studied under the direction of Maximilian Klewer . During this time, her works were presented in a collective exhibition together with other 1,400 objects. Due to the successful state exhibition building at the Lehrter Bahnhof in Berlin, she traveled to Paris . In France, she lived in a small attic, Latin Quarter, near the Boulevard Saint-Michel and began to paint. It was an ongoing financial battle for Eisendieck until a friend arranged for Madame Zak to visit her small studio. Madame Zak was so excited that she immediately bought six of her paintings and exhibited them in her gallery on Place Saint Germain-des-Pres . The exhibition was a success and led other galleries to take notice of Eisendieck, such as the Leicester Gallery in London . This was the end of financial hardship for the artist and the beginning of her success.

Her work was artistically inspired by French impressionism . Her works are now in private collections, especially in America. In addition to chalk and pen drawings, she also painted in oil and pastel colors.

She was friends with Dietz Edzard (1893–1963) and began to paint very much like him, so that it was sometimes difficult to tell the two works apart. Eisendieck and Edzard got married in 1938. The couple had two children: Christine Edzard-Goodwin (1945) married Richard Goodwin (Sands Films, London) and Angélica Edzard-Károlyi (1947) married Georges Karolyi (József Károlyi Foundation, Hungary).

Eisendieck died in Paris in 1998 and was buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery.
