Live and act

On the advice of the local artist Richard Graef, he moved to the city on the Amper in 1938 . His apartment with studio was across from Hermann Stockmann's villa . For one year (1964) the painter was first chairman of the Dachau Artists' Association .

Otto Fuchs painted nudes in particular, based on antiquity and classicism . He preferred mythological themes and painted his women as sibyls , goddesses or allegories .

In addition to his nude paintings, Otto Fuchs also painted the city of Dachau and the landscape around the city.
