Subsequently, he worked as a commercial advertising artist in Switzerland, then attended the Munich College of Arts and Crafts, and studied under Emil Prätorius and Walther Teutsch. Beginning in 1932 he drew pictorial newspapers for the citizens of Berlin, and in 1933 attended the Berlin Academy of Art as a student of Ferdinand Mirror. In 1939 his designs and works were published in many newspapers and books both local and abroad. His works stand out today in many publications and are normally known around such names as Oskar Kokoschka, Picasso, and Max Ernst. This publication is hard to find, especially in the last edition that came out in 1944.
