George Hambuchen (1901-1974 ) - Brouwershaven

Georg Hambüchen was the son of the Düsseldorf landscape and seascape painter Wilhelm Hambüchen, whom he accompanied on trips to Nieuwpoort and Katwijk. His father not only aroused his passion for depicting the sea, but also introduced him to the painters Eugen Kampf and Helmuth Liesegang. At the age of fifteen Hambüchen began his training at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts. From 1918 to 1923 he studied next at the Art Academy of Düsseldorf. From 1921 he was there a master pupil of Carl Ederer. Like his father, Georg Hambüchen was also a member of the artists' association Malkasten.
