After that, however, he embarked on an artistic career. From 1900 to 1903 he was with the Steglitzer Werkstätten in Berlin under the direction of Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke , who represented a reform of commercial graphics. From 1903 Ehmcke taught surface and graphic art at the academy. He later appointed Ernst Aufseeser as his successor.

In 1907 he worked as an artist in Munich . In 1910 he presented pile embroidery in the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Düsseldorf . From 1914 he taught as a professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. After the seizure of power , Aufseeser was dismissed from the teaching post because he was of Jewish descent according to the definition of the Nuremberg Laws .
