Rudolf Grossmann

Rudolf Wilhelm Walther Großmann, or Grossmann was a German painter and graphic artist. He is particularly well known for his portrait drawings of famous contemporary figures.

He was born into an artistic environment. His grandfather, Wilhelm Dürr, was the court painter in Baden and his mother, Marie (1852–1889), was a portrait painter. His father, Viktor, was a doctor, so he initially studied medicine and philosophy in Munich, from 1902 to 1904, then spent five years in Paris, where he was a student of Lucien Simon. While there, he devoted himself primarily to landscape painting, under the influence of Paul Cézanne.

With his friend, Jules Pascin, he travelled to Belgium and The Netherlands. Later study trips took him to Northern and Southern France, then to Vienna, Budapest and Stockholm. In 1910, he stayed briefly in Berlin, then continued his travels; this time to Engadin (near Munich), the Tegernsee and Italy, where he lived with his friend, Hans Purrmann.

Upon returning to Germany, he lived in Berlin; creating book illustrations and portraits of celebrities, many of which were featured in the satirical magazine Simplicissimus. In 1928, he became a Professor at the Royal School of Art. He was also a member of the Berlin Secession and the Deutscher Künstlerbund.
