Claire Bertrand's career  

Claire Bertrand (1890-1969) was a French artist of the early 20th century, born in Sèvres. Her mother was a talented pianist and her father a geologist. She acquired a pronounced artistic sensibility early in her childhood.

She trained as a painter at the Académie Julian and then the Académie de la Palette, as well as the studio of René Ménard and Julien Simon. She married painter Willy Eisenschitz, who was arrested in 1914 as an Austrian subject. She gave birth to their first child while they were both imprisoned. Once the war was over, she exhibited at the Salon des artistes indépendants and the Salon d'Autonme. Claire Bertrand moved several times with her husband to Provence, where they eventually settled. They often held joint exhibitions.

There are musical influences in her painting, especially in the nuances of color. Her husband and son were arrested in 1940 because of their origin, which necessarily had an impact on their artistic production. They moved to the Drôme, and survived the occupation. At the end of the war, they organized exhibitions in collaboration with their daughter.
