Erich Fuchs (born 14 February 1890 in Magdeburg, died July 3, 1983 in Marburg) is a German painter and illustrator, a landscapesist. He graduated from Magdeburg and then studied at Dresden in the Academy of Art under the direction of Professor Alois Köbb. In 1912, he and his two parents died, but he could continue his education with a scholarship funded by his tutor anonymously.

In 1914, he settled in the Sudety Mountains, in Gruszków, wandering around the countryside, drawing local landscapes. In 1916, he began working on the Schlesisches Bergvolk cycle, portraying the forgotten world of the then Sudeten people. In 1924 he met the Nobel Prize winner, Gerhart Hauptmann, which resulted in a series of illustrations for his drama Weavers. They were presented at an exhibition in Moscow in 1927.

In 1940 50th anniversary of the artist's birth, the city of Jelenia Góra honored his work. In 1942, thanks to the scholarship, he created the Sudetendeutsches Volkstum, which depicts the folk culture and crafts of the Sudetes.

In 1945, Fuchs' plan to take Fuchs's works to Germany was not realized. His house is requisitioned by the Polish militia, and the work is taken away. Some of them have recovered in court. In 1948 he was deported to Germany. Initially living in North Rhine-Westphalia, he settled in Marburg in 1959, recovering the rest of his work in 1959.

In 1993, Erich Fuchs (1890-1983) published a book in Germany. Leben und Brauchtum im Riesengebirge, containing articles and reproductions of works.
