Printmaker and painter. lithographer apprentice; in 1894, traveled to Dresden to pursue a career in painting. settled in Berlin in 1908. In September 1910, Brücke invited her to exhibit alongside him. Shortly after, she joined the group. In his sylvan images of idyllic bathers and nudes, a theme to which he was almost completely committed throughout his career, he integrated expressionist tactics of flattening and distorting space. Once Brücke disbanded in 1913, he stayed close friends with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel. joined the war effort in 1916, initially serving on the front lines as an infantryman, then in Berlin working as a draftsman for a zeppelin regiment. He was admitted to the hospital in 1917 for lung issues from which he never fully recovered. He was named professor at the Breslau Academy of Art in 1919 and retained that position up until his passing. 

 

The idealized depictions of gypsy life he added to his subject matter in the 1920s were inspired by his extended travels in the Balkans.

 

With the exception of one etching and six woodcuts, five of which he created in 1912 under the influence of the Brücke, all 172 of his prints were lithographs. Prior to 1919, he utilized the same, characteristic stone repeatedly to hand-print his lithographs in tiny editions. From 1919 on, he made use of the printmaking resources managed by Georg Lange at the Breslau Academy.
