About Richard Bloos

  • Biography from Hampel Fine Art Auctions

    Richard Bloos was trained as a painter at the famous Düsseldorf Art Academy. In 1896 he moved to Paris, where he joined the artist circles Montmartre and Montparnasse. His introduction to French Impressionism was crucial to his artistic development.

    Among his favorite depictions was the secular Parisian city life, which he captured in figures, portraits, genre scenes, and also while visiting circus tents.

    He is one of the best known representatives of the modern Düsseldorf School (after 1900).
