Heinrich Eberhard was a German modernist painter.
Eberhard studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, and was decisively influenced in his artistic development by the modernist pioneer Adolf Helzel (1853-1934). In 1920 he became a member of the Stuttgart "Üecht Group", which also included Willy Baumeister and Oskar Schlemmer, and was a member of the legendary Hölzelkreis.
Eberhard's oeuvre includes oil paintings, drawings, prints and stained glass windows and is characterized by a stylistic pluralism between expressive naturalism, cubist influences and abstraction.
During the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign in Germany in 1937, some of the artist's paintings were removed from galleries and destroyed, but in 1943 he was allowed to exhibit one canvas that met the tastes of the authorities. After the war, Eberhard continued to create with success, participating in exhibitions.

Notable works include "The Lace Maker," "Portrait of Alexander Pushkin," and portraits of everyday people, capturing the essence of Russian life with authenticity and emotional depth.
