He then studied in Paris at the Academie Julian and Colarossi, and then at the L’Ecole des Beaux Arts. He worked as illustrator in New York, to then travel in Europe to study the old masters and settled in Munich for a long part of his life, where he joined the artistic group called die Scholle, under the influence of the famous Leo Putz (1869- 1940). His style is similar to that of the French Impressionists, both in colors and themes, and is mostly known for nudes and portraits of women. This painting belongs to the period he spent between the Ammersee and New York.I n 1939, he left Germany for good and passed his late years in Pasadena, California.
