Born in Ohio, Peter Hohnstedt was self taught. After settling in San Antonio in 1929, he moved to Comfort, Texas. In the early 1940s, the artist painted in the surrounding countryside including the Big Bend, Pecos River areas, and Mexico. He exhibited extensively, and his work can be found in the collection of the Witte Museum, San Antonio. Even in these charming late works, Hohnstedt never ceased to be inspired by the Texas landscape.
