Timeline

He exhibited at Galerie Flechtheim, Düsseldorf in 1919. In 1921, he was a member of the group The Young Rheinländers Exhibition at the home of Mutter Ey.

In 1928 he taught at the Volkskunstschule, Düsseldorf and in 1929 he became director of the Academia de pintura y esculera, Instituto de Bellas Artes, Medellín, Colombia. He returned to Volkskunstschule, Düsseldorf in 1930 but was dismissed from his teaching post by the Nazis, Branded a "Degenerate Artist" in 1933. He spent the years 1933-1943 in travels to and exhibits in France, Jugoslavia and Italy.[1]

In 1943 he was unwillingly drafted into the German Army and the same year captured by American troops and incarcerated. Most of his early work was destroyed when the home in which paintings were stored was burned in a bombing. He was released from prisoner of war camp in 1944.

He continued to work as an independent artist and had exhibits at Galerie Gerd Rosen and Galerie Brenner, Berlin in 1945. In 1947, he gained a post at University in Halle, Germany. In 1948 he began a second position at the Hochschule fur Bildende Künste, Berlin, travelling between jobs by train. In 1949 he left the post at Halle after warnings from colleagues regarding new Communist government threat to him. He was again considered a "degenerate artist", this time by the communists.

He died in his sleep of heart failure at the age of 65.
