Albert Hennig

Albert Hennig was a German artist associated with the Bauhaus tradition. Known for being a member of the Lost Generation (Die verschollene Generation).

Albert Hennig was passionate about photography. In motif and style his work was close to the movement of social documentary photographers of the Weimar Republic. His series "Street Children", commissioned by the Social Democratic Friends of Children movement, was destroyed by the National Socialists in 1933. He worked as a builder from 1934 to 1945.

After the war he became one of the founders of the "Visual Artists" (Bildender Künstler) in the Zwickau cultural association. In 1952, because of a disagreement with the cultural politics of the GDR, he was forced to become a concrete construction worker again until 1972. After that Henning was able to devote himself fully to painting.
