Robert M. Huth

Robert Huth was born in Erfurt in1890. At the age of 14 he attended the school of arts and crafts in his native town, where he studied until 1906. It was only after the war that Huth settled in Berlin as a freelance painter in 1919. This was the place to be for the artistic avant-garde, and Huth, whose works stand in line with the art of the "Brücke" artist group, was part of this movement.

He was in contact with George Grosz, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Karl Hofer, Max Pechstein and Erich Heckel and in 1919 he was a founding member of the expressionist artist group "Jung-Erfurt". He showed works in the Free Secession in 1920 and was part of the first exhibition of German in the U.S.A. in 1923.
