bioghist: label: Biographical / Historical
content: Eric Isenburger (1902-1994) was a German-born painter active in New York City, New York. 

Isenburger was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and studied art at the Frankfurt Art School. He and his wife, Jula Elenbogen, moved to Berlin in 1931 but were forced to leave due to the rise of the Nazi party. After being imprisoned in France for being German, the Isenburgers arrived in New York City in 1941. 

Jula served as Isenburger's model for many of his paintings produced after immigrating to the United States. He exhibited his works throughout the United States and Europe and taught painting at the National Academy of Design. 

Eric Isenburger died in New York City in 1994.
