Born near Hanover, Germany, Oscar Bluemner early followed in the
architectural careers of his father and grandfather. In the early
1880s, he studied painting and architecture at the Royal Academy of
Design in Berlin and then traveled to America hoping unsuccessfully for
an architectural commission with the 1893 World Exposition in Chicago.
He
did win a competition in 1900 for the design of the courthouse in
Bronx, New York, but his partner stole the commission from him. (showing 500 of 11407 characters). |
