About the Item

Beth Eidelberg (1933-2018) San Antonio Artist Image Size: 16 x 12 Frame Size: 25 x 21 Medium: Oil "Tea Time" Biography Beth Eidelberg (1933-2018) Beth Eidelberg had two passions: art and San Antonio.A painter for most of her life and professionally for half a century, Eidelberg was known for her watercolors of nostalgic scenes in an around San Antonio from flower markets to Jefferson High School to the historic homes in the King William Historic District.Eidelberg died from complications with diabetes on Feb. 14. She was 84. “She was born with the talent share,” her brother Jay Weidenfeld said. “Beth was, before she was four or five, drawing with quite a bit of skill.”Weidenfeld said her parents made sure she was in classes and schools that fostered her talent all the way through college, but the college format didn’t sit right with her. She graduated and did some commercial work, and she was able to do it, but “it was a more work for her. It was hard for her.” “She was more specifically oriented toward fine art — toward her own individual paintings,” Weidenfeld said. “When she came back to San Antonio, she resolved to be a fine artist with her own studio. She was much more in tune to work from her own inspiration.” Eidelberg first gained recognition for bringing the colors in the flower markets to light.“She was drawn to and skilled with bringing color to things that attracted and appealed to people,” Weidenfeld said. “She was almost magnetically drawn to South Texas.” Her artwork — which is on display in the homes of three generations — is laden with buildings and structures dripping in flowers but also includes the state capitol building and the first Luby’s Cafeteria on Broadway.“Like most artists, she only wanted absolute perfection,” Weidenfeld said. “She was not an art factory and rarely duplicated a painting.”An active member of the San Antonio Art League, she was named the league’s Artist of the Year in 1990. Arty Bentch said she was like a second mom to him since she was more like a sister than a cousin to his mom. He is handling her estate and putting together an art show to celebrate her life and benefit the San Antonio Art League. The bulk of her work has been donated to charity and Bentch said he also has much more than they will display.“We are going to be displaying 17 pieces of her work,” Bentch said. “They are the best representations of her life and her work.”
