Paul Hoecker
Paul Hoecker was a German painter of the Munich School and founding member of the Munich Secession. In 1874, he became a student at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, which he attended until the spring of 1879. His most influential instructor was Wilhelm von Diez, who led him away from genre painting to a more impressionistic style. In 1891, at the young age of 36, he was appointed to the Munich Academy. He was one of the first "modern" teachers there, exposing his students to impressionism and the latest developments from the Barbizon School. In 1892 Hoecker became one of the founding members of the Munich Secession, acting as its secretary. The Secession ultimately inspired similar movements in Berlin and other cities.
