Karl Hermann Haupt was a German painter, graphic artist and designer.
He studied painting at the Art School in his native Halle from 1920 to 1923. From 1923 to 1924 he attended courses at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where his teachers included Josef Albers, Laszlo Mohoy-Nagy, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Walter Gropius. After his studies at the Bauhaus, Haupt returned to Halle, where he worked as a painter until 1926. He then moved to Krefeld to begin a career as a textile painter. Haupt remained in Krefeld for most of the 1930s, combining painting with his studies with Johannes Itten at the Krefeld School of Textile Decoration.
After military service during World War II, Haupt worked for the regional government of Saxony-Anhalt until 1951, when he was appointed lecturer at the School of Applied Art in Berlin. From 1953 he worked as a scientific illustrator and photographer at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin until his death.
Haupt's paintings and graphics often depicted urban scenes and industrial landscapes, and he was particularly interested in the human figure and the impact of modern society on the individual. His work was known for its sharp, crisp lines and attention to detail.
Today, Haupt's work is recognized as an important contribution to modern art in Germany, and his paintings and drawings are in the collections of major museums around the world.
