Willy Eisenschitz (1889 - 1974) France/Austria
Willy Eisenschitz (1889 - 1974) Oil on board, Signed Lower Right, Measures (10.5 x 14 inches) w/frame (17.5 x 21 inches) Willy Eisenschitz (Vienna, 1889 - Paris, 1974) began his studies at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1910, but in 1912 moved to Paris to continue his education at the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere*. His exposure to the French Impressionists* Gauguin and Cezanne led to an infatuation that lasted the rest of Eisenschitz's life. If Central Europe had been his main source of inspiration as an emerging painter, Paris, the canal Saint-Martin and the south of France were soon to build the basis of his future inspiration. An outstanding colorist*, Eisenschitz painted landscapes, interiors, portraits and still-lifes. Landscaper above all, he was little influenced by the revolutionary pictorial movements around in Paris at the time, but he did absorb some of the post-war Cubism* by using some geometrized shapes.
