With her subject of an elegantly dressed lady in celebration at St Jean (St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat), overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the artist paints a scene of great beauty and refinement. Characteristic of the best of Suzanne Eisendieck’s paintings, she masterfully captured light and atmosphere in radiant colour. Stylistically Eisendieck is closely aligned with that of the Impressionists, adding her own touch and a personal charm.

Suzanne Eisendieck’s paintings are known for their individuality, radiant colour, and distinctive style. She masterfully captured light and atmosphere. Her paintings sometimes portray elegant women and children in a formal interior, and French coastal scenes. The ballet, opera, music and theatre also provided her with a wealth of inspiration. Married to another important artist of the period, Dietz Edzard, one of their daughters, Angélique, often served as one of their models. Eisendieck’s palette also resulted in glorious still lifes of flowers.
While stylistically, her paintings align closely with the Impressionists, and that she is painting a full 3 generations after the masters, Eisendieck adds her own touch and a personal charm that includes quaintness and piquant beauty. Her work combines technical finesse, sensitivity, and refinement.
Admittedly her market was and is toward the decorative, art buyers looking to complement the finest and most distinguished interiors primarily in Palm Beach, Chicago and New York, ones begging for the virtues of Manet at Sainte-Adresse but at a more approachable cost. When one notes the art galleries that featured her paintings, this endorses the notion that Eisendieck paintings are works of art of quality.
Her works were sold primarily in the United States at Wally Findlay Galleries. In addition to Findlay other distinguished art galleries in France (Galerie Zak, Galerie Benezit and Galerie Petrides), the UK (Leicester Galleries, O'Hana Gallery, Adams Gallery), the United States (Perls Galleries, Marie Harriman Gallery, Gallery Vigeveno) and Canada (Walter Klinkhoff Gallery and Dominion Gallery) represented her paintings.
I had the splendid experience of occasionally visiting her with my father at her apartment on Paris’ Left Bank. Ballet slippers and other objects featured in her paintings decorated her home. Suzanne Eisendieck (1908-1998) was a prominent and widely admired figure painter who gained international recognition after her first exhibition in Paris in 1929. Originally from Danzig, she moved to Paris in the late 1920s, quickly becoming part of its vibrant art scene. There, she met her husband, the painter Dietz Edzard. Both shared similar backgrounds and became central figures in the Parisian art world in their day.
