Artist context
About Paul Kuhfuß
Paul Kuhfuß (1883–1960) was a German painter, watercolorist, and graphic artist based in Berlin, where he was born and later died. Active through the first half of the twentieth century, Kuhfuß is documented in standard German artist lexica including Thieme/Becker and Vollmer. His recorded subjects span landscapes, portraits, genre scenes, and flower pieces, executed in oil, watercolor, and drawing media. Authority records at VIAF, the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, and the Library of Congress confirm his identity and dates. He signed works as 'Kuhfuss,' and both spellings appear in cataloguing references.

Common works and media
Kuhfuß most commonly produced landscape paintings and watercolors, often depicting rural or urban scenery, alongside portraits, genre scenes, and flower compositions. Works appear in oil on canvas or panel, watercolor on paper, and as drawings. Unsigned or faintly signed works may require careful cataloguing, as the artist used the 'ss' form of his surname in his signature.
Market and appraisal context
Paul Kuhfuß's works appear regularly at auction, with over three hundred lots documented. His oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings of landscapes, genre scenes, and flower subjects are the forms collectors are most likely to encounter. Appraisal value depends on medium, size, condition, provenance, subject matter, and whether the work can be securely attributed. Signed works with clear provenance are more straightforward to evaluate. No published catalogue raisonné was identified, so attribution may require comparison with reference entries in Thieme/Becker or consultation with a specialist.
