influence

The influences of the art dictates of the Third Reich , the GDR and West German modernism remained insignificant. The flight from the GDR to West Berlin in 1953 was a turning point in his life, as he had to leave his previous work behind during the hasty escape. All he could take with him was a small folder with his war drawings. With the exception of a few pictures that were saved by his mother and a friend, his oeuvre spanning more than twenty years has either been lost or destroyed. In the later years of his life he turned more to paintwork.
