Hugo Kreyssig
Emil Albert Hugo Kreyssig (born January 9, 1873 in Coburg , † May 30, 1939 in Munich ) was a German painter who is attributed to Impressionism .
Kreyssig studied painting from 1894 to 1898 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden a. a. with Friedrich Preller . In 1898 he settled in Munich. From here he went on study trips that took him all over Europe and during which numerous vedute in oil and watercolor techniques were created. His main work, however, are city and landscape views from Bavaria, where he often found his motifs in the high moor landscapes and forests between Lake Starnberg and Bad Tölz . Kreyssig preferred moods of autumn, twilight and thunderstorms, which put his pictures in a field of tension between realistic reproduction of the motif in the style of vedute painting and impressionistic play of colors.
Hugo Kreyssig was a member of the Munich Watercolor Artists Association (around Rudolf Köselitz ) and the Munich Artists' Cooperative, his pictures were shown at numerous art exhibitions in Germany, including regularly in the Munich Glass Palace .
