Peter Trumm (1888-1966) was a German painter, graphic artist, illustrator, and art critic. He was born in Strasbourg on July 18, 1888, and died in Munich on November 8, 1966. Trumm studied at the art academies in Karlsruhe and Munich. He later became the head of the Munich Knirr school. His work often featured urban scenes, architecture, and figural compositions, including notable pieces inspired by a 1928 trip to North America. He is known for paintings, watercolors, and particularly for his original woodcut prints. He was associated with art movements and exhibited his work at several notable shows, including the Münchener Kunstausstellung in 1932 and the Deutsche Graphik Schau in 1936. Notable Works of Trumm are: Coriolan und seine Mutter (Coriolanus and His Mother), an original woodcut print, New York, Blick von Weehawken über den Hudson auf Manhattan, a rare chiaroscuro woodcut from his North American travels, Church steeples and market stalls, Munich, a charcoal drawing, Meuterei in der Odyssee (Mutiny in the Odyssey), a painting. Peter Trumm's art is held in collections such as the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
