Marianne Eigenheer

Marianne Eigenheer was a Swiss artist. She was active both as an academic (including lecturer status and professorships at several art academies and colleges) and as a working artist who displayed works in Europe, Australia, and the United States. Her work was done mostly on small and large canvasses, including some wall drawings. Eigenheer’s work has its roots in drawing, in which the freely moving line precedes the flat, pictorial dimension. Her drawings are gesticulating, free line works on paper, in which the spontaneous, subconscious action is combined with conscious formal and content-related decision-making. In the 1980s, the important series Bilder zur Lage, of postcard-sized drawings, was created. She also painted large canvases, as part of the series Misere des Herzens (Misery of the Heart), with animal silhouettes, human figures and hybrid beings, who seem to float or lie before monochrome backgrounds. Later came works on canvas and wall drawings, characterized by the use of red, black and gold, consisting mostly of borders, features and amorphous, semi-abstract forms and form developments.
