About the author
Hugo B. Froehlich (1862–1925) was an American art educator and writer whose books were widely used in school art instruction. Reliable catalog and library records connect him with a long run of educational titles, especially the Text Books of Art Education series and The Theory and Practice of Color.
Some editions describe him as a former instructor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, which fits the practical, classroom-focused style of his books. Much of his published work was created with fellow educator Bonnie E. Snow, and together they produced guides that blended drawing, design, craft, and color study for students and teachers.
Because surviving online sources about his personal life are limited, he is best understood through his teaching books rather than through a detailed public biography. Even so, those books show a writer deeply interested in making art education structured, visual, and accessible for young learners.
