Hugo Degenhard
Hugo Degenhard (born December 30, 1866 in Munich ; † November 12, 1901 there ) was a German animal and landscape painter, as well as an etcher and watercolorist.
Life
Degenhard was the son of a postman. He was a student at the School of Applied Arts and also received private lessons from the Hungarian painter Simon Hollósy, who was only 9 years his senior, and enrolled on November 24, 1886 to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich for the Academic Preschool Course 1. Here he was a student of the painters Karl Raupp and Otto Seitz until 1891 . He then devoted himself mainly to landscape painting with motifs from the Munich area. From 1892 to 1895 he was based in Dachau . While his early paintings have a naturalistic style of painting, his later works are rather impasto impressionistic. In the short obituary of the magazine Die Kunst , the day of his death is given as November 16. He was considered a promising talent in landscape painting. His works also included wall decorations in the Hotel Minerva in Baden-Baden . The art historian Hyacinth Holland wrote in his obituary that he most recently switched to hunting painting. He suffered from severe physical ailment and extreme nearsightedness and "laid hands on his life in utter desolation". He died in the surgical clinic to which he was taken by the rescue company.
