  Rudolf Wilhelm Walther Großmann (Rudolf Großmann, also Grossmann) was a German painter and graphic artist. His grandfather was the Baden court painter Wilhelm Dürr, and his mother was also a painter. After initially studying medicine, Großmann went to Paris for five years, where he studied with Lucien Simon. Under the influence of Paul Cézasse, he dedicated himself to landscape painting. With Jules Pascin he traveled to Belgium and the Netherlands. From 1910 he lived in Berlin and from there traveled extensively with his friend Hans Purrmann. In Berlin he worked as a graphic artist and made book illustrations and portraits, the latter of which appeared among others. among other things in “Simplicissimus”. In 1928 Großmann became a professor at the Berlin Art School. He was a member of the Berlin Secession and the German Artists' Association. After the seizure of power, he was deposed as a professor and retired to Freiburg. The Nazis considered his paintings “degenerate” ("entartet"). In 1937, more than 500 of his works were confiscated in the “Entartete Kunst” campaign and, for example, T. destroyed. Three of his works were shown in the Nazi propaganda exhibition “Entartete Kunst” (Degenerate Art). Lovis Corinth made an oil portrait of Großmann. Großmann illustrated, among other things, Books by Joachim Ringelnatz and Erich Kästner.
