Karl Otto Matthaei

Karl Otto Matthaei was a German painter, draftsman and graphic artist. He completed his training from 1891 to 1900 at the Grand Ducal Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, which was one of the leading landscape school in Germany. His first teacher was Franz Hein from Altona. His first study trips took him to the Karlsruhe area. Around 1894 he lived in the Grötzinger painters' colony in an artist community. In 1895, art students from Karlsruhe founded an artists' colony in Duhnen, Altenwalde and Altenbruch (Cuxhaven), of which Karl Otto Matthaei was a founding member. Karlsruhe was Matthaei's official place of residence until 1916, although this was regularly interrupted by his annual study and painting visits to the North Sea and the Lower Elbe region. He then moved his residence to Bremen. Matthaei was chairman of the Bremen Artists' Association for many years and was made an honorary member in 1924. In 1930 he was appointed Honorary President of the Association of Northwest German Artists.
