Life

In 1919 Lahs had a collective exhibition in the Flechtheim Gallery , Düsseldorf. He became a member of the group Das Junge Rheinland two years later, and he also had an exhibition at “ Mutter Ey ”. In 1930 he took over a professorship at the State Art School in Berlin , which he would hold for three years. Then he was relieved of his teaching post because of anti-fascist activities and as a “ degenerate artist ”.

Since the same year he had collective exhibitions in France, Yugoslavia and Italy, this exhibition phase ended in 1943. In 1945 he held collective exhibitions in Berlin, a. a. in the Gerd Rosen gallery and the Bremer gallery. He has given lectures at the University of Halle since 1947. In the following year, the University of Fine Arts in Berlin appointed him professor. Another year later he left the University of Halle.
