Hermann Kauffmann (the younger)
Hermann Kauffmann (the Younger) (born February 27, 1873 in Munich ; † September 5, 1953 in Fischbachau ) was a German painter.
Life
Named after his grandfather, the Hamburg painter Hermann Kauffmann , and son of the Munich painter Hugo Kauffmann and his wife Johannette, née Crecelius, Hermann Kauffmann grew up with six siblings in Munich. From 1883 to 1887 he attended the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich . From the summer semester of 1888 to the winter semester of 1890/91 he was enrolled at the Kunstgewerbeschule - as a preschool for the art academy - but continued his education privately with Paul Nauen in Munich. At the beginning of the 1890s his father introduced him to the artists' circle of "Bears and Lions" in Prien am Chiemsee , of which he himself became a member. In 1894/95 he went on a study trip to Italy. He took up his apartment and studio in Maxvorstadt in Munich , where he registered a “painting school for women”. He often stayed in Hamburg, including on portraits (including mayor Gustav Heinrich Kirchenpauer , factory owner Otto Traun), to exhibitions and in 1918 to do his military service.
Hermann Kauffmann the Elder J. created portraits in small, later also in larger formats as well as figurative pictures and interior scenes based in Bavaria. He showed his work, including copies of Old Masters, mainly at the annual exhibitions in the Glaspalast in Munich , in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition (1905) and in Hamburg, where he was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association .
