Austrian, naturalized French, Willy Eisenschitz followed the teaching of the Academy of Fine Arts of Vienna, before coming to France in 1911 in the workshops of Georges Desvallières, Lucien Simon and at the Grande Chaumière.
After the First World War, he settled in Dieulefit in the Drôme, then in 1927 near Toulon.
He participated in the Salons d'Automne, des Tuileries, and was the subject of numerous personal exhibitions, from the first in 1922 in Paris to the great Retrospective at the Musée de Toulon in 1957.
Provencal paintings dominate his work, he also illustrated several books by Jean Giono, who also celebrated the beauty of the landscapes of the south.
This landscape is quite characteristic of his art from Cézanne's Cubism, with a well-paced composition and a subtle harmony of tones.
