As a member of the jury free , he exhibited works in the Glaspalast in Munich from the late 1920s . During the time of National Socialism he withdrew into internal emigration. He was stylistically influenced by Emil Nolde , Edvard Munch , Gabriele Münter , Max Beckmann and the artists' association Brücke . His work, created after 1945, is assigned to expressive realism. The motif of colorful, expressive still lifes is often found. A violet basic tone dominates many of his pictures. He mostly worked in medium and smaller formats. The repertoire of his content includes landscape images from the area around Munich, architecture in Munich suburbs, still lifes, flowers, the circus world, nudes and portraits, but also snapshots of the young Schwabing scenery of the 1950s. The Munich City Museum owns a number of his carpenter's pencil drawings with architectural ensembles from the Au and Haidhausen .
