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.
