Adolf Höfer (painter)

Adolf Höfer (10 October 1869, in Munich – 14 March 1927, in Parsberg) was a German painter, illustrator, and graphic artist.

While there, he became part of the group of painters who created an artists' association called "Die Scholle [de]"; an agricultural term that often means "homeland", but they denied any patriotic intent.

He had a relationship with one of his students, Nadine von Enckevort [de], which never led to marriage due to the differences in their social status and age.

[citation needed] His best works date from this period, he gained recognition and, in 1910, was invited to tea in 1910 by Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria.

When World War I began he volunteered, thinking it would be over quickly, and became an Etappenoffizier (someone in charge of logistics) in Flanders.
