Konrad Hoffmeister studied photography and reproduction techniques in Magdeburg before serving as an assistant and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin-Weißensee from 1953-1956. Beginning in 1957, he worked as a freelance photographer in East Berlin. He produced images for theater, television, magazines, and advertising, while also pursuing independent artistic projects. Among these is his notable portrait series "Ansichten zu Deutschland" (Views of Germany). Hoffmeister’s work has been exhibited internationally and remains a significant contribution to postwar German photography. – Retouched spot in upper mid area, a few minimal pressure marks, otherwise in very good condition.
