SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Hans Kratzer, born in Munich in 1874, was a painter whose activity remained connected with his native city. Available biographical information records membership of several artists’ groups and regular participation in Munich exhibitions. Documented works place the male figure at the centre, characterised through clothing and occupation. A cardinal absorbed in reading and an elderly man in hunting dress offer two ways of linking a person with a social role and an everyday moment. Kratzer worked in oils on both canvas and wood. These examples provide an approach to his work through the relationship between portraiture, genre painting and the accessories that accompany and help characterise the figure.
