Max Hänger junior

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Josef Hänger junior (* 1898 in Munich ; † 1961 there ) was a German animal and landscape painter .

Max Hänger was the son of the animal painter Max Hänger the Elder , who probably gave him his first lessons. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1920-28 ; Study trips took him to Paris and Italy. Compared to his father, he developed a much more relaxed painting technique; thus the encounter with pointillism was reflected in his works as a landscape painter . Due to a war injury to his eyes, Max Hänger had to end his career. His grave is in the Munich North Cemetery .
