Otto Hofmann (1907-1994) The painter Otto Hofmann was born in Essen in 1907. He studied architecture in Stuttgart at first and then went to the Bauhaus Dessau in 1928, where he studied with Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, as well as Josef Albers and Oskar Schlemmer.

During the Third Reich era, his works were called degenerate art. Shortly before the war he spent a year in Russian captivity, after he was freed he lived in Paris for some time and returned to Berlin 10 years later, where he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1966 to 1975.
