Originally from Poland, Eugenie Baizerman was one of America's earliest Abstract Impressionists. Prior to immigrating to the United States in 1914, Baizerman's family lived in Bessarabia, a province of Russia, and in the city of Odessa in the Russian Ukraine.

The Eugenie Silverman Baizer collection contains drawings, sketches, paintings in watercolor and oil, as well as correspondence, diaries and journals.
