Artistic career

From 1901 to 1902 he was initially a student of Kolo Moser at the Vienna School of Applied Arts and then moved to Heinrich Knirr in Munich . He was in London when World War I broke out and was interned from 1914 to 1918 .

"Influenced by Beardsley and Rops as a draftsman, his imagination came up with grotesque depictions of gruesome piquancy, often with a social punchline and erotic allusions." He caricatured the age of romanticism , created oil paintings , watercolors and etchings . He can be counted among the forerunners of the “ Fantastic Realists ”.
