The “Galerie Flechtheim ” had already brought international modernism to Düsseldorf in 1913 and showed “The New Art” in exhibitions. Many joint events and traveling exhibitions were organized in order to win the young Rhenish artists the place they deserve and have been withheld for far too long in German art. Out of this situation, the young Rhenish artists founded the association “Das Junge Rheinland” on February 24, 1919. Hermann von Wedderkop , member of the advisory committee of the “Young Rhineland”, wrote about the revolution in art: “In reality, art has been in a state of revolution for a long time, because the revolution in art is more or less a permanent state, so the philistine -Academic never comes to rest .... ". As a special trademark of Hermann Hundt, dogs can be found on some of his pictures. With this he alludes to himself as "painter Hundt".
