Life
Vogts lived in Berlin from 1884 to 1895 , where he studied painting at the Royal Academy of the Arts . Eugen Bracht , Paul Friedrich Meyerheim and Joseph Scheurenberg were his teachers at the Berlin Academy . In 1895/1896 he went to Paris and attended the Académie Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens . In 1897 he returned to his native Cologne. In 1902 he moved to Düsseldorf . He lived there until the end of his life, from 1927 on Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring 3 in Düsseldorf- Oberkassel with a studio at Jakobistraße 14c, and was a member of the artists' association Malkasten . In 1905 Vogts made a trip to the Netherlands and stayed in the seaside resort of Domburg .
Vogts stood out particularly through portraits of women and children. In 1912 the Düsseldorf Theater Week counted him, alongside Fritz Reusing , Wilhelm Schneider-Didam and Max Westfeld, among the most famous portrait painters in Düsseldorf. His son was the later SA man, financial officer and art collector Richard Vogts (1906-1984), the second husband of Margarete Umbach (1892-1960), with whom he tried to save and reconstruct the important art collection of the art historian Walter Cohen .
