Hugo Krayn
Hugo Krayn (born February 5, 1885 in Berlin , † January 25, 1919 in Charlottenburg ) was a German painter of the Berlin Secession .
Life
Krayn, son of the Jewish businessman Leopold Krayn, came to the Berlin School of Applied Arts in 1902 and was a pupil of Emil Orlik in his class for graphics and book art from 1905 to 1910. In the translation of the children's book Die Wasserkinder by Charles Kingsley , published in Germany by Georg Westermann Verlag in 1912 28 pictures, black and white and color, were used by him.
Industrial Berlin, its residents on the street and in their working world were his themes. Even during a recreational stay in Davos , his impressions were more of the narrowness of the village than the monumentality of the mountainous landscape. Krayn exhibited in the Berlin Secession, of which he became a member in 1915, and in the German Association of Artists . The city of Berlin bought pictures from him. In Wiesbaden he was represented at the Great Art Exhibition in 1918. Before a redefinition of his painting style, noticed by Lovis Corinth in two pictures, could solidify, Krayn died of the worldwide rampant Spanish flu . Much of his work was lost in an air raid on Berlin. Some of his works are still in private hands.
