Gustav Alexander Max Uth (24 November 1863 – 15 June 1914[1]) was a German painter of landscapes and art teacher.
Uth was born in Berlin as the son of a manufacturer. He enrolled at the Academy of Art in Berlin under Eugen Bracht. He opened his own atelier for women painters in 1897[2] in Berlin; among his students were Gertrud Berger[3] (1870–1949), Laura Schaberg (1860 or 1866–1935), Sophie Wencke-Meinken (1874–1963) and Emmy Gotzmann (1881–1950).[4]
Paintings by Uth were among those exhibited in the AEG electricity pavilion at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900[5] and in the German Pavilion at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.[6] He was one of the founding members of the Berlin Secession in 1899, and one of the sixteen artists to leave it in 1902.[7][8] He died in 1914 in Hermannswerder, Potsdam.[1]
