Works (selection)
Hambüchen is considered to be the rediscoverer of Dutch and Flemish coastal landscapes in painting at the turn of the century. His style, which was shaped by French Impressionism , received suggestions from Gerhard Janssen (1863–1931), Max Liebermann and Helmuth Liesegang . In addition to oil paintings, which characterize impasto brushstrokes, he created drawings and etchings.
