Numerous original poster drafts are preserved in the German Film Museum in Frankfurt am Main . From 1950 to 1975 he lived in Wiesbaden, where he took part in the annual exhibitions of the Künstlerbund in the fountain colonnade as well as in the Biebrich Castle and in the Villa Clementine in the house of the Hessian state government. He was also a member of the Munich Artists' Cooperative in Munich. The artist's works could be admired at exhibitions in Bonn, Paris, Strasbourg, Baden-Baden and San Francisco. In addition to numerous film posters and cinema graphics, he also made a name for himself as a landscape painter and portrait draftsman (including for local associations). In his last and most important creative period, the artist drew many female nudes in oil.
