Hugo B. Froehlich was an American art educator and writer born in 1862 and died in 1925. He is best known for instructional books on art education and color, including Text Books of Art Education and The Theory and Practice of Color.
Much of his published work was created with Bonnie E. Snow. Their books were designed for classroom use, with graded lessons that introduced drawing, design, observation, and color in a practical way for students and teachers.
Froehlich’s work reflects a teaching style that treated art as both a creative subject and a useful skill. His books remained visible in library and digitized collections long after publication, showing their lasting place in the history of art instruction.
