Life

After primary school, Gebhardt studied from 1909 to 1912 at the royal drawing school in Dresden. He then studied for a year at the Dresden School of Applied Arts and was then a soldier in the First World War until 1918 . Wounded back in Dresden from military service, he took up a job as a decorative painter from 1918 to 1922 . From 1922 to 1925 he studied at the Leipzig Academy of Graphic Arts with Alois Kolb and Hans Alexander Müller . From 1925 to 1933 he studied again at the Dresden School of Applied Arts with Richard Guhr .

From 1922 he lived in Hellerau near Dresden and from 1925 worked independently in his own studio. In between, he traveled, partly commissioned Germany . His style was shaped towards New Objectivity and the closeness to nature. The diversity of nature is reflected in his works. But also factual architectural works such as the portrait of the Hellerau Festival Hall show the ingenious skills of the painter. In addition to city views, he repeatedly sought to classify nature in his landscape portraits as well as in his pictures of animals.

After the Second World War he also worked as a restorer . Together with the painters Max Merbt and Max Rosenlöscher , he restored the historically valuable pictures on the ceiling and the galleries in the church in Schellerhau .
