Hugo Erfurth (14 October 1874, Halle (Saale), Germany – 14 February 1948, Gaienhofen) was a German photographer known for his portraits of celebrities and cultural figures of the early twentieth century.

Life

Early years

By 1884, Erfurth was at school in Dresden. From 1892 to 1896, he studied painting at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. In 1895, while still at school, he studied photography through an apprenticeship with court photographer Wilhelm Höffer. Four years later, in 1869, at the age of 22, he took over the studio of J. S. Schröder at Johannstadt, Dresden.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Erfurth’s early surviving works show a commitment to the style of Pictorialism. He made landscapes and portraits in gum bichromate or as oil pigment prints, and started to earn a reputation as a skilled photographer.[5]

Rise to prominence

During the next ten years, he ran the Schröder studio, then established his own studio, art gallery, and home in the Palais Lüttichau. During this time, Dresden was home to a cultural elite that included Otto Dix, Erich Heckel, Paul Klee, and Oskar Kokoschka. These artists and writers, who considered Erfurth their creative equal, frequented his studio to have their portraits taken. He also photographed opera, theater, and dance performers, did work in industrial photography, and experimented with photograms and photomontage.[7]

By the late 1920s, Erfurth had established himself as one of Germany’s leading portraitists, and was known for a broad range of work around photography:

...he was the subject of an extensive critical literature and even of a 1927 film that showed him planning, executing, and printing a portrait commission. Possessing strong organizational skills, Erfurth curated a major photography exhibition in Dresden as early as 1904, and he later operated an art gallery in his studio, presenting prints and drawings by the most talented younger German artists. Erfurth also published art criticism, writing for example about the Scottish photographer David Octavius Hill (1802-1870), whom Erfurth admired for suppressing unnecessary detail in his portraits.[3]
In 1919, he co-founded the exhibiting group Gesellschaft Deutscher Lichtbildner, which included leading German art photographers. He played an important role in this group, chairing the jury from 1924–1948.[3][4][6][7]

Later years

In 1934, Erfurth moved from Dresden to Cologne, establishing a studio there. Though many of his friends and portrait subjects left Germany after Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, Erfurth stayed.[3] His studio and his photo archives were largely destroyed by bombs in 1943. His portraits survived, having been deposited in a safe.[5]

After the bombing, in 1946, he moved to Lake Constance in Gaienhofen, where he continued to work. A year later, he was given a large retrospective in nearby Switzerland. He died the following year at the age of 73.

Impact

The city of Leverkusen and the local company Agfa, which is known mainly for the production of photographic films, sponsored an international prize for photography which bears his name.
