19th & 20th century
Heinrich Kamps or Heinz Kamps was a German painter and director of the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts.
In 1922, Kamps first presented his work to the public by participating in an exhibition of the artists' association "Das Junge Rheinland". Soon, in 1925, he was already appointed professor at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, and four years later he took over the management of the State Art School in Berlin-Schöneberg.
During the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign in 1937, Kamps' works were confiscated and lost. In 1941 he was forced to leave for Austria and then Poland; in 1943 his Berlin studio was bombed by the Allies and almost all of his early works destroyed.
After the end of World War II, in 1946 Kamps was elected professor and director of the newly opened Düsseldorf Academy of Art, which he directed until his death.
Arthur Kampf was a German painter. He was associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
Kampf's work is most strongly associated with the genre of traditional history painting, though throughout his lifetime he explored styles influenced by Impressionism and Art Nouveau. He was also celebrated for large scale portrait work and in particular children's portraiture. Kampf also worked extensively as an illustrator, contributing drawings to volumes by Shakespeare (1925), R. Herzog, History of Prussia (1913) and J.W. Goethe, Faust (1925). Kampf's artwork post World War II largely focused on religious themes.
