Henry Richter (1870-1960)

Henry Richter was born in Austria in 1870, and immigrated with his family in 1887, settling in Chicago. He was a self-taught artist, working for a commercial art company when he enrolled in the Art Institute of Chicago, where he exhibited his works to favorable reviews. Richter taught at the Western State Teachers College in Colorado, and at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. In 1919 he moved to Laguna Beach, where he painted and taught for some 20 years. Primarily a landscape painter, he worked in both watercolors and oils until his death in 1960.
