ARTIST
Collins Eisenhauer (1898-1979) was as a primitive artist hailing from Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. After retiring in 1964, he embarked on a second career as a sculptor, starting with painted wooden carvings of geese, water birds, and people displayed on his lawn. Eisenhauer remained undiscovered until the early 1970s when antique dealers noticed his sculptures. Initially, he used the name "Collins Eisener" for privacy, but upon catching the attention of Chris Huntington, a prominent figure in Nova Scotia folk art, he adopted "Collins Eisenhauer." His work evolved to encompass topical and classical themes, often inspired by classical narratives, reflecting society's attitudes. His legacy endures in esteemed institutions like the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Museum of Civilization, as well as private collections worldwide.
