Emil Holzhauer Following his arrival in New York City, Emil Holzhauer quickly fell under the influence of the group of advanced artists known as ‘The Eight.’ Holzhauer studied alongside Edward Hopper, George Bellows, George Luks, among others at Robert Henri’s School of New York, developing a modernist style based on elements of Expressionism, Fauvism, and Social Realism. Holzhauer tended to depict ordinary subjects—fishing cabins, alleyways, and marketplaces—using heavy outlines, vivid areas of color, and rhythmic harmonic spaces.
