Biographical History
Painter, etcher, lithographer, teacher and illustrator; New York City. First name also given as Eugene.
Biographical note: German emigre artist.
Eugen Spiro was born in Breslau, Lower Silesia, Germany, and studied at the Munich Academy of Art under the painter Franz von Stuck. He lived and painted in Paris, 1906-14, and Berlin, 1914-34. As a Jewish artist whose portraits were classified "degenerate" by the Nazis, he immigrated to France in 1935 and was interned in the French concentration camp at Gurs. He immigrated to New York City in 1941, where he became an independent teacher and artist. He painted portraits of Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, and many other famous people both in Europe and the United States.
