Elvira Bach (born 22 June 1951) is a postmodernist German painter known for her colourful images of women.
[6] In 1981, a scholarship led Elvira Bach to the Dominican Republic to study as an "artist in residence", and was greatly inspired by her experiences there.
[6] Bach's neo-expressionist portraits of women mirror the themes of her own life, and many of her works unmistakably resemble the artist.
[8] Bach's works of the early 1980s were mostly self-reflective and focused on herself (Night Owl, Sophisticated Lady, Always Me).
[9] However, after her marriage and the birth of her two sons, her art became more representative of her new, more private family environment and home-life.
