| biography:
| Painter, born in Stuttgart, SW Germany. For some years he was a professor at the Frankfurt School of Art, but the Hitler regime prohibited him from teaching and he turned to scientific research on colour and to prehistoric archaeology. These interests are reflected in his work such as ‘African Histories’, a series of paintings depicting strange organic forms, and his illustrations for the Bible stories and the ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’ (1942–53). |
