Fritz Mühsam was born on December 5, 1880, in Hamburg. He spent his youth in Berlin, where his father owned an oil paint factory. There, and later in Munich, Fritz Mühsam studied painting. After his studies, he lived as a freelance artist in Berlin and also maintained a studio in Fischerhude, which he visited during the summer months. His work mainly consisted of portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. In 1927, he participated in the group exhibition *"European Art of the Present"* in Hamburg. He was also a full member of the German Artists' Association (Deutscher Künstlerbund), with which he exhibited three times between 1928 and 1931, although he was only listed as a member until 1929. In 1931, Mühsam gave up his apartment in Berlin and moved to Paris, where he also taught. For this reason, he is also known as Frédéric H. Muhsam. In the summer, he continued to work in Fischerhude. During the 1930s, he became closer to the Garman-Epstein family. Two portraits of Esther and Theo Garman, painted by Mühsam in 1934, are now in the collection of the New Art Gallery Walsall. During World War II, Mühsam was interned in France. He died of a heart attack in Paris in 1946.
