Gustave Klumpp (1902 - 1974) was a German-American painter, often classified as a folk artist or outsider artist.
Born in Baiersbronn, in the Black Forest area of western Germany, Klumpp was the son of a photographer and general store manager. He immigrated to the United States in 1934. His uncle, a janitor, offered Klumpp housing in a synagogue where he worked. Klumpp himself found employment in the printing trades, working as a compositor and as a linotype operator. Upon his retirement in 1964, he lived on his social security benefits in Brooklyn, New York. In 1966, with the encouragement of the personnel at the Red Hook Senior Center, he began to paint.[1]
In 1972, Klumpp wrote, "My philosophy of art painting which is expressed in the visualization of painting beautiful girls in the nude or semi-nude and in fictitious surroundings including some other paintings of dream like nature."[2]
Klumpp's paintings are in the collections in the American Folk Art Museum in New York, the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
