resume
Woltze was the son of the genre and portrait painter Professor Berthold Woltze (1829-1896) from Magdeburg -Neustadt or Halberstadt . Peter studied in Weimar , Karlsruhe , Munich , Venice and Rome . From the age of 26 from 1886 to 1900 he lived in the USA and Mexico for fourteen years . Here he studied with the American Fredrick Wilhelm Heine (1845–1921) in Milwaukee, and from 1886 he painted landscapes for the American Panorama Company. Then he returned to Frankfurt am Main . Seven years later he moved to Weimar in 1907.
Style direction
Peter Woltze belonged to the so-called Weimar School of Painting, whose teachers and students turned away from the academic tradition of idealized compositions between 1870 and 1900 and, like the representatives of the Barbizon School in France before them, to a realistic landscape by studying nature - and found genre painting. The artists trained at the Weimar Art School in the following years included Hans Arp , Max Beckmann , Hans Delbrück and Max Liebermann .
