During his time in Paris he made pencil studies, especially on the everyday life of boatmen and Parisian dock workers . At first Carl Döbel was enthusiastic about the expressionist woodcut , then pursued tendencies of the New Objectivity and temporarily devoted himself to figurative themes that were influenced by the Italian Neoclassicists and French Modernism. From the mid-30s onwards, Carl Döbel began painting ships more and more frequently. It became a dominant motif, which after the war took up particularly influences from Picasso , Joan Miró and Paul Klee . In his later work he took up tachism and informel . In a lively and vital way, Döbel painted increasingly shortened, finally abbreviated to triangles and crescent moon hulls with lined up, mostly sailless masts, with formula-like faces, water and sky indistinguishable in magnificent, richly nuanced colors . He also created commercial graphic works and in the 1950s he artistically dealt with room and wall designs made of ceramic and metal wire reliefs. These works in Kassel include the fresco in the auditorium of the Albert Schweitzer School Orpheus sings the animals from 1954, a phoenix mosaic in a vocational school, the legend of St. Martin in the foyer of the police headquarters , and the colored one in a swimming pool in Karl-Strasse Ceramic ships from 1959 and the metal wire relief shipping in the Stadtsparkasse .
