Hugo Kauffmann
Hugo Wilhelm Kauffmann (born August 7, 1844 in Hamburg , † December 30, 1915 in Prien am Chiemsee ) was a German painter .
Life
The son of Hermann Kauffmann went to Frankfurt / Main in 1861 and worked there under Jakob Becker , Edward Jakob von Steinle and Johann Nepomuk Zwerger . His classmates at the Städel Institute included Johann Georg Mohr , Fritz Rumpf , Robert Forell and Oscar Goebel.
From 1863 to 1871 he lived in Kronberg im Taunus . In between he spent a winter in Hamburg and a five-month trial period in Düsseldorf ; He also stayed in Paris for a year and a half, from where the war drove him in 1870 .
In 1871 he took up residence in Munich . Kauffmann's creative power, supported by fine observation and healthy humor, combined with characteristic drawings and the finest coloring, gave his work something fresh and lively. He took his material with preference from the lower circles of the urban, partly also the rural population and presented them with a sense of reality.
Hugo Kauffmann's son Hermann Kauffmann (the younger) also became a painter.
