Life

Hoger devoted himself mainly of genre painting, he painted numerous scenes from the Old Vienna with romantic names such as "At the tavern in Grinzing" , "Susanne and the Elders" , "Gaudeamus Igitur" , "Fruit Market in Venice" , "Picnic in Dürnstein ” or “ Im Maien ” . Otherwise little is known about Rudolf Adolf Höger's biography.

It seems certain that during the First World War , at least from 1914 to 1917, he was a member of the art group in the Austro-Hungarian war press quarter . Numerous works were created there, which are now in the collections of the Vienna Museum of Military History . These oil paintings were mainly created on the Russian and Balkan fronts.
