From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustave H. Wolff

Gustave Wolff was a German-born American painter who merged traditions of American Impressionism and the Dutch Hague School. Born in Berlin, Germany, Wolff and his family immigrated to the United States to settle in St. Louis when Wolff was three.[1]

Wolff was enrolled for a time at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts and was a student of Paul Cornoyer, F. Humphrey Woolrych, and Frederick Oakes Sylvester. Though he was a lifelong resident of St. Louis, it was Wolff's scenes of New York City which are among his most notable.
