Hartmann's mother was Japanese and his father, Carl Hermann Oscar Hartmann, was a multi-lingual German citizen. Hartmann attended private schools in Hamburg and Kiel, Germany and studied theater, art, and literature in Berlin, Brussels, and Paris. He was a writer for several Boston and New York City newspapers in the 1880s and 1890s and became an American citizen in 1892.
