From Courthouse Gallery: Dorothy Eisner (1906-1984) was an American painter whose career spanned more than seven decades. She studied at the Art Students League from 1925-29 with Boardman Robinson, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Thomas Hart Benton. While these influences contributed to the strength of Eisner's unique artistic vision, Eisner worked constantly on her own track, with occasional explorations of fields or "schools" of art through most of the twentieth century (studying with Jack Tworkov in the 1950s): in her studio in Greenwich Village, in the mountains of North Carolina, the valleys and rivers of Montana, and the coast of Maine. Her paintings reflect both her own past and her passionate interest in all art. Long active in avant-garde art circles in Great Cranberry Isle, Maine, and New York City, Eisner served on the Board of the Society of Independent Artists in the 1930s, having been nominated by John Sloan. In 1941, along with Ilya Bolotowsky, Susie Frelinghuysen, G.L.K. Morris, Adolph Gottlieb, and Mark Rothko, she cofounded the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors. Eisner's work has been exhibited at the Salons of America, the Society of Independent Artists, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, the New York World's Fair (1939), the New York Society of Women Artists, and the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors. She exhibited in museums over the years, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Corcoran Gallery, the Chicago Art Institute, the Farnsworth Art Museum, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Her work is represented in the permanent collections of Bryn Mawr College Collections, Colby College Museum, The Dewey Center of the University of Southern Illinois, the Farnsworth Museum, Houghton Library of Harvard University, The University of Lethbridge, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Monhegan Museum, The Portland Museum, and The Ogunquit Museum of American Art, among others, and in many private collections. In 1992, the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine, mounted a solo exhibition; an exhibition, "Brushes with History: Leon Trotsky and the Dewey Commission of inquiry," at Houghton Library, Harvard University, featured her work from the trials in Mexico City in 1937; the most recent solo exhibition of her work occurred in 2008 at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art: "Dorothy Eisner: Paintings 1951-1983."
