Henry Hensche
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Hensche (February 25, 1899 - December 10, 1992) was an American painter and teacher. Born in Germany, Henry Hensche came to the United States by way of Antwerp, Belgium. He was ten years old when he arrived at Ellis Island aboard the British steamship S.S. Kroonland, along with his sister Erna, and his father Fred. His mother died before he was two. At the age of 17 he began to work in the stockyards so that he could afford to attend the Art Institute of Chicago. He also studied at the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts, the Art Students League of New York, the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, and Charles Webster Hawthorne's Cape Cod School of Art.
