CREATORS

* Theodor Hofmeister (German, 1868–1943)  - artist
Theodor Hofmeister German, 1868-1943; and Oskar Hofmeister German, 1871-1937 Theodor Hofmeister, a wholesale merchant, and his brother Oskar, a secretary of the county court, were born in Hamburg. Around 1895 they became amateur photographers, specializing in figure studies and landscapes. Working as a team, they exhibited their prints under joint authorship and soon became leading members of the local amateur photographic society. By 1897 they had begun to produce gum bichromate prints almost exclusively. In July 1904 six of the Hofmeister brothers' photographs were reproduced in Camera Work, and two years later Alfred Stieglitz included them in a show of Austrian and German photography at the Photo-Secession Galleries in New York. They were elected to membership in the Linked Ring in 1908, and in 1910 their work appeared in the important International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography at the Albright Art Gallery, Buffalo.
