Herman Heuff. 09-07-1875, The Hague - 01-07-1945 Heemstede) From 1907 he mostly made etchings and drawings. Heuff attended evening classes at the Haagsche Akademie, under Floris Arntzenius. He painted cityscapes and old places in Zeeland, South Holland and Italy. Heuff had contact with Theo van Hoytema and Willem de Zwart. He went blind in the 1930s. That is why a benefit exhibition was held in June 1933 and the Herman Heuff Fund was established. Artist friends such as Marinus Heijnes made works of art available that were sold by auction. One of the buyers was Queen Wilhelmina. Heuff remained an artist after he went blind; in these years he made ceramic sculptures. Heuff died in 1945 in his home called the Dorstige Kuil in Heemstede. He seems to have been an inspiration for Anton Pieck.
