Description:
Emil Eugen Holzhauer was born in 1887 in Schwabisch-Gmund, Germany. In 1906, he moved to New York City without a job, money, or any knowledge of the English language. He initially worked in manufacturing plants to support himself and save money for art instruction. After settling into his adopted city, Holzhauer registered for night classes at the New York School of Art in 1909 where he studied with Robert Henri. Throughout the 1930s, Holzhauer became identified with the American Scene movement in art. (Source: Farnsworth Museum [website]; http://farnsworthmus eum.org/)
