Dietz Edzard

born Bremen, Germany, 1893; died Paris, France, 1963
BiographyDietz Edzard was born in Bremen in 1893. He traveled extensively through Germany, Holland and France and studied painting with Max Beckmann. In 1929, Edzard’s work was included in an exhibition of contemporary painting at the Jeu de Paume, Paris, a museum dedicated to the Impressionist masters. His primary subjects were portraits and landscapes.

In his book D. Edzard, Gerd Muehsam writes: “Edzard has captured in his canvases the charm of the Parisian atmosphere. With the light, vibrant touch of his brush, he produced sparkling, and yet delicate, paintings of beautiful women, dancers and flowers. His brilliant delineations of circus life and the theatre, his spirited portrayals of Parisian café scenes have made him a favorite of art circles in this country and abroad.”
