Born in Memmingen in 1885, the son of a doctor, he studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts from 1905 to 1911 under Heinrich von Zügel and Max von Weber. From 1919, he took part in exhibitions organised by the New Munich Secession, and from 1920, he taught as a professor at the Municipal School of Art and Clothing in Augsburg.
