About the artist

Leopold Hugo

American

1863-1933

Leopold Hugo was a German-born American photographer known for his landscapes and nature studies along the coast of California. Working during the Pictorialist movement at the turn of the 20th century, he became particularly recognized for his images of cypress and eucalyptus trees along the Monterey Peninsula. Hugo was born on December 24, 1866, in Breslau, Germany (now Wrocław, Poland). He immigrated to the United States in 1889 and initially settled in Texas. In 1907, the Hugos moved to La Jolla, California, specializing in landscapes and nature studies. His work reflected both straight photography and the soft-focus aesthetic favored by Pictorialist photographers. Hugo reportedly used waxed-paper negatives to enhance the atmospheric effects in his prints. Leopold Hugo died on September 7, 1933, in Belton, Texas, while on a family trip.
