HABERMANN, HUGO FREIHERR VON German painter, was born at Dillingen on June 15, 1849. He studied at the Munich academy under Piloty, the leading repre sentative of the realist school in Germany, from 1871 to 1878, and afterwards visited Italy, Paris and Brussels. Since 1905 he has been a professor at the Academy, Munich. While still under the influence of Piloty he painted "The Monk" (1875), "Piloty's studio" (1876) and two portraits of his brother, all of which are in the New State gallery, Munich. His sensibility to colour was extraordinary and he gradually developed a superb technique. "Child of Sorrow" and the portraits of Frau von Torri (1886) and of his mother (1899) are interesting examples of his different phases. Later he became famous for his female nudes—"Frauen akt," "Liegender Modellnakt" (Munich, 189 7) and others, which are remarkable for their easy pose and smooth finish. Above all he was a great stylist.
