| biography:
| Painter and sculptor, born in Leipzig, EC Germany. He studied in Karlsruhe, Brussels, and Paris, and excited hostility as well as admiration by his pen drawings and etchings, which were audaciously original in concept and often imbued with macabre realism. Later he turned to painting, and did much work in coloured sculpture, including Beethoven (1902), and an unfinished monument to Richard Wagner. |
