Ludwig von Hofmann
Artist (1861 - 1945)
Ludwig von Hofmann was born on August 17, 1861 in Darmstadt, Germany, and died on August 23, 1945 in Pillnitz, Germany.
Ludwig von Hoffmann was one of the founder members in 1899 of the Berlin Secession. He developed a heightened Romantic, poetic feel to his art, idyllic landscapes populated with young men and girls; also illustrating the Jugendstil magazine Pan. In the 1920s however his work took on a more Expressionistic character, particularly in his printmaking.
