Arthur Coulin

Arthur and his three siblings all dabbled in art and showed talent at an early age, but he was the only one who chose it as a career, against his mother's wishes.

He enrolled at the Lutheran High School (now the Samuel von Brukenthal National College), where he studied with Carl Dörschlag [de].

The following year, he transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich where his primary professor was Gabriel von Hackl.

[1] The following year, he obtained a state scholarship and began spending time at the artists' colony [hu] in Baia Mare.

A new grant from the government came in 1900, enabling him to travel to Italy and work at the colony in Cervara di Roma.
