Life and work
Eva Hesse was born in the family of a Jewish lawyer. After intensifying the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, Eve and her older sister were sent to the Netherlands through the Kindertransport program . After several months of separation, they reunited and moved to England. In 1939, the Hesse family arrives in New York. In 1946, Eve's mother, suffering from a mental disorder caused by persecution and flight from Germany, commits suicide. Having received secondary education, Eva studies painting at Cooper Union College in New York , and then at Yale University's School of Arts and Architecture (in particular, at Joseph Albers ). In the early 1960s, E. Hesse was influenced by the work of Marcel Duchamp .
In 1961, Eve married sculptor Tom Doyle. In 1964-1965, the couple live in Germany, in Kettwig , near Essen, and work hard, creating the first art objects in 3 projections. After returning to New York, Eva Hesse devotes her time to sculpture and works with previously unusual materials - rubber, plastics, fiberglass. Thanks to her work, Eva Hesse becomes a well-known master.
E. Hesse died at the age of 34 from brain cancer. After her death, the artist’s works were presented at the contemporary art exhibitions documenta 5 (1972) and documenta 6 (1977) in Kassel.
