PORTRAITS Hansegger was a gifted portrait artist, able to find and convey the essence of his sitters, who include many prominent people. In addition to Pablo Picasso, he was privileged to paint Albert Einstein, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Sigmund Freud, photographer Lotte Jacobi and many others. He executed his portraits in a number of styles including the formal realist approach he used for Picasso and the soft impressionist style he discovered in Africa (see landscapes below).
