Otto Hofmann was born on April 28, 1907 in Essen, in the Ruhr, and died in Pompeiana on July 23, 1996. He was a pupil of Klee and Kandinsky. He spent childhood and youth in Jena, Thuringia, not far from the city of Weimar. Following the inflation caused by the First World War, the family’s financial resources were considerably reduced, preventing the young Hofmann from dedicating himself to painting for several years, as he wished. He then enrolled at the Stuttgart School of Architecture, after a period of apprenticeship in which he acquired practical knowledge of building construction.
