When he emigrated to Brazil , he devoted himself to teaching and painting.

Erwin von Busse, who was also the editor of the magazine “ Die Scene ”, is best known today as the author of the homoerotic book Das Eroten Komödiengärtlein , which consists of five miniatures on the subject of love among men , which is why it is due to the decisions of the regional courts in Berlin and Leipzig In 1920 and 1921 it was banned, confiscated and made unusable.
