Biography

In 1901, he became a student of Arthur Siebelist, co-founder of the Hamburgischer Künstlerklub, which he joined in 1903. The following year, he had his first exhibition at the Galerie Commeter, a highly respected gallery that had been established in 1821. He was married in 1905 and had a daughter in 1906.

With Franz Nölken and Friedrich Ahlers-Hestermann, fellow members of the Künstlerklub, he went to Paris in 1907 and became part of the artistic circle that met at Le Dôme Café. Two years later, he took another trip to Paris with his friends and enrolled for advanced studies with Henri Matisse at his short-lived Académie.[1]

During their time there, they became known as "Die drei Hamburger" as they were always together, painting cityscapes, landscapes in Meulan and nude models at their studio on the Boulevard Edgar-Quinet. However, one of the main supporters of Siebelist and his students, Alfred Lichtwark, rejected their work because he "could not make friends with the teachings of Matisse".

In 1910 and 1911, he took extended study trips to Southern France and Italy. After the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Army in Königsberg. He died in a Russian military hospital near Kovel, on the southern flank of the Eastern Front in 1916.[1]

gollark: That wouldn't stop this sort of attack from working.
gollark: There are other possible uses, though. Someone with illegal material could just set the hash to some random value without making the image look particularly weird.
gollark: Maybe something something adverserial image scaling, if it's implemented poorly.
gollark: It's probably harder to break without the image looking noticeably different, though, since it just works by downscaling and grayscaling things or something.
