Born in Krefeld, Westphalia in Germany.
This expressionist artist received influence from Franz Marc. As a painter, he produced oil paintings, watercolors and gouache. Worked in stained glass receiving numerous orders for glass windows in Germany and Amsterdam. And was also a graphic designer.
In 1911 he became a member of the Der Blaue Reiter. When the Nazi regime came, in 1933, he was considered a degenerate artist and could not exhibit his works.
Because of that, he decided to move to The Netherlands working at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam as teacher in Decorative Art, Printmaking and Stained Glass.
Later he took the decision to naturalize Dutch citizen.
