Elisabeth Loewe (1924, in Breslau[1] – 1996, in Bremen) was a German artist of the Post- Expressionism.
Born in Breslau to Jewish parents, she contracted Poliomyelitis as a nine-year-old, which resulted in a severe physical disability.
It was still possible for her parents to leave Breslau in 1939 for Chile, where the family found a fresh beginning.
The German reparation policy (Federal Law of Compensation for victims of national-socialist persecution) granted Elisabeth Loewe a scholarship at the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg, where she studied Psychology from 1958.
She finds her themes mainly in Russian fairy tales and in the Jewish mythology.
