Else Meidner (born Else Meyer; 2 September 1901 – 7 May 1987) was a German-Jewish painter.

Biography

Meidner was born in Berlin and studied there between 1918 and 1925 before spending two years in Cologne.[2] In 1927 she married the painter Ludwig Meidner and they emigrated to England in August 1939.[1] There Else Meidner worked as a domestic.[3]

After World War II the couple drifted apart, both emotionally and artistically and Ludwig returned to Germany in 1952 while Else stayed in London.[2][3] In 1951 the Meidner's son, David (born 1929), emigrated to Israel.[1] Else returned to Germany in 1963 to take care of the ailing Ludwig,[3] but eventually returned to London. She died in London.[4]

Career

Else Meidner exhibited in Berlin before fleeing to London, and after the war she exhibited at the Ben Uri Gallery, London; the Galerie Hanna Bekker vom Rath, Frankfurt; the Matthiesen Gallery, London; the Beaux Arts Gallery, London; and the Leicester Gallery, London.[1]
