Life
Josef Seché was born in 1880 as the son of the Cologne architect Josef Seché (1850–1901) and initially studied architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart . From 1905 he studied painting at the Munich Art Academy , where he was a student of Franz von Stuck and Hugo von Habermann .
Seché married Johanna Hilda Schwarz (1897–1942) from Augsburg , who was of Jewish faith. The couple lived in Munich and had a son, René Sechehaye, born in 1924.
In the 1920s, Seché designed Art Déco- style posters for various Munich cafés, theaters and casinos . He drew the poster for the Reichs-Süßwaren-Messe in Munich in 1924 and the poster for the Great Artists' Costume Festival in 1925 . Many engravings were also made during this time .
