DZIOMBA, Elza

Born: 1902 01 26
Died: 1970

Sculptor


S.A sculptor, born in Dt'Eylau, West Prussia, Germany.

A brief entry on Elza Dziomba extracted from South African Paint Pot by Walter Battiss (circa 1942):

Of the other sculptors Elsa Dziomba is important because her immediate work is indicative of a rich future. Elsa Dziomba, because she produces too infrequently, is hardly known to us. Yet all her sculpture is significant, possessing the power of inner vibration.
