Susan Einzig
Immigrated to England 1939
Beyond Einzig’s illustrative career, in her later career she returned to painting. In her landscapes, her handling is fluid, her palette generally light, but at times, both colour and meaning are opaque. A motif of a path winding up and away between trees frequently recurs, sometimes two figures are included walking towards or away from the viewer. As the art historian Frances Spalding and the artist's daughter, Hetty Einzig, have observed, it is difficult not to interpret this as 'as a return', whether conscious or unconscious 'to the core themes carried over from her childhood; attachment, separation and loss'.
