on the 20th December 1899 in Cologne, Hermann Claasen (HC) became well known after
World War II through his photographs showing the devastation of Cologne. According
to the list of his works, HC's oeuvre includes many other areas of interest: Photographic
experiments, advertising, portraits of politicians and artists. These, as well
as his early works, demonstrate that HC is one of the most important German photographers
this century. To coincide with his retrospective exhibition in autumn 1999 at
Stadtmuseum Köln, Volume 5 of HC's index of works "Early Works" was published.
Hermann Claasen died on 19th December 1987 in Cologne.
