August Behrendsen was a German artist and illustrator known for his work in book design and fine draftsman techniques during the early to mid-20th century. His illustrations often blended classical influences with a modernist approach to line and composition, contributing to the development of visual storytelling in German publishing.

Though less commercially famous than his contemporaries, Behrendsen’s works reflect meticulous craftsmanship and a deep reverence for art as narrative. His legacy is preserved in museum collections and rare illustrated books.
