He studied art, art history and architecture at the University of Cincinnati, University of Wisconsin (BA 1948), Ohio State University (MA 1949), University of Iowa, and Columbia University (PhD program 1953-54).He was drawn to Precisionism during these years, writing his masters thesisin 1949 on \"The Stylistic Development of Charles Demuth\'s Art.\" By the early1950s, he began working in a simplified precisionist style, as well as anabstract aesthetic. He continued to work in both styles through the late 1960s.His precisionist work is characterized by crisp and refined industrial and urban scenes of New York, Cincinnati and Washington DC, all places he lived for significant parts of his life.Herrmann was well-rounded. In addition to painting, he dabbled inphotography, wrote poetry and spoke a five languages. Herrmann supportedhimself by working as a librarian, translator and stock broker. He nevermarried nor had children. Although Herrmann painted actively for at least two decades, it does not appear he sold any of his work during his life. After his death, his works were presented in a one-man show in Cincinnati, Ohio
