Biography

Walter Hugo Ophey was born on 25 March 1882 in Eupen, Germany (now Belgium) to Louise Haeber and accountant Emil Ophey.[3] His father died in December 1888 and his mother returned to work, teaching music lessons.[3] He studied with sculptor Karl Krauss (1859–1906) in 1900. He attended Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (Düsseldorf Art Academy) and studied under Fritz Roeber and Willy Spatz (1861–1931).[3]

In 1912, Ophey joined the Sonderbund group with other Düsseldorf painters, Julius Bretz, Max Clarenbach, August Deusser, Wilhelm Schmurr, and brothers Karli Sohn-Rethel, Otto Sohn-Rethel and Alfred Sohn-Rethel.[4][5]

On 12 February 1917, Walter Ophey married Bernhardine Bornemann (1879–1968).[6]

In 1919, he was a founding member of Young Rhineland (Das Junge Rheinland) art association, alongside Werner Heuser, Heinrich Nauen, Adolf Uzarski, Arthur Kaufmann, Carlo Mense, and architect Wilhelm Kreis.[7]

His work is in the public museum collection at Stadtmuseum Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf (City Museum State Capital Düsseldorf),[8] Städel Museum,[9] Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA),[10] among others.
